Abstract
Positive solutions of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem Au = σu for a forced, convex, isotone, compact operator on a partially ordered locally convex topological vector space E are considered. Denote by σ* the infimum of the set of σ for which the equation has a solution u in the positive cone K of E. σ* is characterized as the saddle value of a functional JA determined by A and defined on the Cartesian product of K and its dual K*.
