We are interested in two parameter eigenvalue problems of the form

subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions

The weight function 5 and the potential q will both be assumed to lie in L2[0,1]. The problem (1.1), (1.2) generates eigencurves

in the sense that for any fixed λ, ν(λ) is the nth eigenvalue ν, (according to oscillation indexing) of (1.1), (1.2). These curves are in fact analytic functions of λ and have been the object of considerable study in recent years. The survey paper [1] provides background in this area and itemises properties of eigencurves.
