Abstract: We study nonnegative solutions of the boundary value problem ${\displaystyle }$-Delta u = lambda c(x)u + mu(x)| abla u|^2 + h(x),quad uin H^1_0(Omega)cap L^infty(Omega), leqno(P_lambda)${\displaystyle }$ where $Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain, $mu,cin{L}^{i}nfty(Omega)$, $hin{L}^r(Omega)$ for some $r>n/2$ and $mu,c,h>hskip-3.5mmatopeq0$. Our main motivation is to study the "noncoercive" case. Namely, unlike in previous work on the subject, we do not assume $mu$ to be positive everywhere in $Omega$. In space dimensions up to $n=5$, we establish uniform a priori estimates for weak solutions of ($P_{l}ambda$) when $lambda>0$ is bounded away from $0$. This is proved under the assumption that the supports of $mu$ and $c$ intersect, a condition that we show to be actually necessary, and in some cases we further assume that $mu$ is uniformly positive on the support of $c$ and/or some other conditions. As a consequence of our a priori estimates, assuming that ($P_0$) has a solution, we deduce the existence of a continuum $calC$ of solutions, such that the projection of $calC$ onto the $lambda$-axis is an interval of the form $[0,a]$ for some $a>0$ and that the continuum $calC$ bifurcates from infinity to the right of the axis $lambda=0$. In particular, for each $lambda>0$ small enough, problem $(P_{l}ambda)$ has at least two distinct solutions.
