Global bifurcation for semilinear eigenvalue problems involving nonlocal terms

Qingbo Liu, Lan Zhao

Abstract:
We investigate global bifurcation phenomenon for a class of semilinear eigenvalue problems involving nonlocal terms. Under certain assumptions, we demonstrate the existence of a global continuum emanating from the first eigenvalue of the unperturbed problem. As an application of this result, we identify the parameter interval for which positive solutions exist in the problem with general nonlinearities \(f\), where \(f\) exhibits asymptotic \((q-1)\)-linear behavior both near zero and at infinity. To study the global structure of bifurcation branch, we also establish some properties of the first eigenvalue for a semilinear eigenvalue problem.
