- K. Umezu, Blowing-up of principal eigenvalues for Neumann boundary conditions, accepted in '''[[Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A.:http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/rse/proca]]'''   
>''Abstract'': This paper studies blowing-up properties of a unique positive principal eigenvalue for a linear elliptic eigenvalue problem with an indefinite weight function and Neumann boundary condition. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the blowing-up are discussed, based on the variational characterization of the unique positive principal eigenvalue. A counterexample is constructed, which shows that a known necessary and sufficient condition for the blowing-up in the Dirichlet boundary condition case no longer remains true in the Neumann one.

- K. Umezu, On eigenvalue problems with Robin type boundary conditions having indefinite coefficients, accepted in '''[[Applicable Analysis:http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/00036811.asp]]'''. 
>''Abstract'': A Robin type boundary condition with a sign-changing coefficient is treated. First the associated linear elliptic eigenvalue problem is studied, where the existence of a principal eigenvalue is discussed by use of a variational approach. Secondly the associated semilinear elliptic boundary value problem of logistic type is studied and the one parameter-dependent structure of positive solutions is investigated, where results obtained are due to the construction of suitable super and subsolutions by using the principal positive eigenfunctions of the linear eigenvalue problem.

>''Abstract'': In this paper we consider the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of a nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem with nonlinear boundary conditions which arises in population dynamics. While bifurcation problems from lines of trivial solutions are studied, the existence of bifurcation positive solutions from infinity is discussed. The former will be caught by the reduction to a bifurcation equation following the Lyapunov 
and Schmidt procedure.  The latter will be based on a variational argument depending on the corresponding constrained minimization problem.
