Global bifurcation for a class of nonlinear ODEs

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2082045





A global bifurcation result for positive periodic solutions (with fixed period) to scalar equations of the form \[ u-\mu (u- |u|^{q-1}u)=0 \] where \(\mu>0\) is the bifurcation parameter, and \(q>1\) is fixed. A brief survey on global bifurcation theory is also presented. As an application of the main result, the authors give a bifurcation-theoretic proof of a classical non-uniqueness result for conformal metrics with constant scalar curvature, that was independently discovered by Kobayashi and Schoen in the 1980s.
