Global bifurcation diagrams for Liouville-Bratu-Gelfand problem with Minkowski-curvature operator (Q2172782)

The paper investigates the Minkowski-curvature Dirichlet problem \[ \begin{cases} \,\left(\dfrac{u'}{\sqrt{1-(u')^2}}\right)' + \lambda e^{u} = 0, \\ \,u(-L)=u(L)=0, \end{cases} \] where \(\lambda\) and \(L\) are positive real parameters. The authors study global bifurcation diagrams and the exact multiplicity of positive solutions. In particular, they prove that there exists \(L_{0}>0\) such that the bifurcation curve is S-shaped for \(L \in\mathopen{]}L_{0},+\infty\mathclose{[}\) and is monotone increasing for \(L\in\mathopen{]}0,L_{0}\mathclose{]}\).
