 * 1)  of a particular kind of eigenvalue problem involving a nonlinear function on the reals that is continuous, positive, and monotone.
 * Finally, we mention that several papers studied nonlinear eigenvalue problems of the form
 * Finally, we mention that several papers studied nonlinear eigenvalue problems of the form
 * for $$\scriptstyle \lambda\ >\ 0 $$ under the assumption that $$\scriptstyle f:\ \mathbb R\ \to\ \mathbb R$$ is continuous, positive, monotone. For this reason such problems were named positone... If the nonlinearity $$\scriptstyle f:\ \mathbb R\ \to\ \mathbb R$$ is continuous, monotone and $$\scriptstyle f(0)\ <\ 0 $$,...then the eigenvalue problem is called semipositone...
