Bifurcation from infinity in a class of nonlocal elliptic problems. (Q1847677)

The author studies the bifurcation problem \[ -\Delta u=\frac {\mu f(u)}{(\int_\Omega f(u)dx)^p},\;u>0\text{ in }\Omega,\;u=0\text{ on }\partial\Omega, \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(R^n(n\geq 1)\) with \(C^2\) boundary \(\partial\Omega\). \(p\) is a constant, \(\mu\) is a bifurcation parameter. \(f\) is a locally Lipschitz continuous function on \(\langle 0,+\infty)\) and satisfies the conditions \(f(u)>0\) for \(\mu\geq 0\) \(\limsup_{u\to\infty}\frac{f(u)}{u}=0\). The author proves theorems for the problem under various additional assumptions.
