Asymptotics for the $k$-Hessian Eigenvalue on the Unit Ball

Abstract

We compute the limit of the eigenvalue of the $k$-Hessian operator on the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ when $k\rightarrow \infty$, assuming that the ratio $\frac{n}{k}$ remains fixed. When $n<2ke$, we moreover identify the limit of the corresponding eigenfunctions. We also derive monotonicity results and consider when the ratio varies in $n$.
