A complete classification of bifurcation diagrams of a \(p\)-Laplacian Dirichlet problem. II. Generalized nonlinearities (Q1936064)

The authors examine the bifurcation diagrams of classical positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the one-dimensional \(p\)-Laplace equation \[ -(\phi(u'))' = \lambda f(u), \] where \( \lambda \) is a positive parameter. They assume \(f(u) = |u-1|^q\) for \(0\leq u \leq 1\) and \(f(u) = |u-1|^r\) for \( u > 1\), with \(q,r>0\). The method is based on the study of the time-map.
