Some bifurcation results for quasilinear Dirichlet boundary value problems

Francois Genoud

Abstract:
This article reviews some bifurcation results for quasilinear problems in bounded domains of R^N, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Some of these are natural extensions of classical theorems in "semilinear bifurcation theory" from the 1970's, based on topological arguments. In the rad ial setting, a recent contribution of the present author is also presented, which yields smooth solution curves, bifurcating from the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian.
