Multiplicity of nodal solutions in classical non-degenerate logistic equations (Q2127535)

This paper provides a multiplicity result of solutions with one node for a class of (non-degenerate) classical diffusive logistic equations. Compared with some previous papers, this paper deals with a different range of values of the main parameter of the problem and the existing multiplicity result for nodal solutions of the classical diffusive logistic equation is new. The paper also provides a series of, very illustrative, numerical experiments to show the application of the multiplicity result. It is amazing that, though the model with a constant weight function can only admit one solution with one interior node, the numerical experiments suggest the existence of non-constant perturbations, arbitrarily close to a constant, with an arbitrarily large number of solutions with one interior node.
