✦ Synopsis
In this paper we present some new results of symmetry for inhomogeneous Dirichlet eigenvalue problems overdetermined by a condition involving the gradient of the first eigenfunction on the boundary. One specificity of the problem studied is the dependence of the equation and the boundary condition on the distance to the origin. The method of investigation is based on the use of continuous Steiner symmetrization together with some domain derivative tools. An application is given to the study of an overdetermined eigenvalue problem for a wedge-like membrane.

## Abstract We study an eigenvalue problem in **R**^__N__^ which involves the __p__ ‐Laplacian (__p__ > __N__ ≥ 2) and the nonlinear term has a global (__p__ – 1)‐sublinear growth. The existence of certain open intervals of eigenvalues is guaranteed for which the eigenvalue problem has two nonzero
Existence and uniqueness results for large positive solutions are obtained for a class of quasilinear elliptic eigenvalue problems in general bounded smooth domains via a generalization of a sweeping principle of Serrin. The nonlinear terms of the problems can be negative in some intervals. The exis
