Generalized elliptic functions and their application to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem with p-Laplacian

The Jacobian elliptic functions are generalized and applied to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem with $p$-Laplacian. The eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenfunction are represented in terms of common parameters, and a complete description of the spectra and a closed form representation of the corresponding eigenfunctions are obtained. As a by-product of the representation, it turns out that a kind of solution is also a solution of another eigenvalue problem with $p/2$-Laplacian.
