Lower Bounds for Admissible Values of the Travelling Wave Speed in Asymmetrically Supported Beam
Abstract
We study the admissible values of the wave speed $c$ for which the beam equation with jumping nonlinearity possesses a travelling wave solution. In contrast to previously studied problems modelling suspension bridges, the presence of the term with negative part of the solution in the equation results in restrictions of $c$. In this paper, we provide the maximal wave speed range for which the existence of the travelling wave solution can be proved using the Mountain Pass Theorem. We also introduce its close connection with related Dirichlet problems and their Fu\v{c}\'{i}k spectra. Moreover, we present several analytical approximations of the main existence result with assumptions that are easy to verify. Finally, we formulate a conjecture that the infimum of the admissible wave speed range can be described by the Fu\v{c}\'{i}k spectrum of a simple periodic problem.
