In this paper we will find optimal lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the fourth order equation with integrable potentials when the L1norm of potentials is known. We establish the minimization character-ization for the first eigenvalue of the measure differential equation, which plays an important role in the extremal problem of ordinary differential equation. The conclusion of this paper will illustrate a new and very interesting phenomenon that the minimizing measures will no longer be located at the center of the interval when the norm is large enough.

In this paper, we show that as τ → √−1∞, any zero of the Lam´e function converges to either ∞ or a finite point p satisfying Rep = 1 2 and e2πip being an algebraic number. Our proof is based on studying a special family of simply-periodic KdV potentials with period 1, i.e. algebro-geometric simply-periodic solutions of the KdV hierarchy. We show that except the pole 0, all other poles of such KdV potentials locate on the line Rez = 1 2. We also compute explicitly the eigenvalue setofthecorresponding L2[0,1] eigenvalueproblemforsuchKdVpotentials, thus extends Takemura’s works [26, 27]. Our main idea is to apply the classification result for simply-periodic KdV potentials by Gesztesy, Unterkofler and Weikard [11] and the Darboux transformation.
