Global bifurcation for second-order Neumann problem with a set-valued term (Q606207): Difference between revisions

Summary: We study the global bifurcation of a differential inclusion of the form \[ -(ku')'+g(\cdot,u)\in\mu F(\cdot,u),\quad u'(0)=0=u'(1), \] where \(F\) is a ``set-valued representation'' of a function with jump discontinuities along the line segment \([0,1]\times \{0\}\). The proof relies on a Sturm-Liouville version of Rabinowitz's bifurcation theorem and an approximation procedure.
