Abstract: We consider the boundary value problem �egin{equation*} - Delta u = lambda c(x)u+ mu(x) | abla u|^2 + h(x), quad u in H^1_0(Omega) cap L^{infty}(Omega) eqno{(P_{lambda})} end{equation*} where OmegasubsetRN,Ngeq3 is a bounded domain with smooth boundary. It is assumed that cgneqq0, c,h belong to Lp(Omega) for some p>N/2 and that muinLinfty(Omega). We explicit a condition which guarantees the existence of a unique solution of (Plambda) when lambda<0 and we show that these solutions belong to a continuum. The behaviour of the continuum depends in an essential way on the existence of a solution of (P0). It crosses the axis lambda=0 if (P0) has a solution, otherwise if bifurcates from infinity at the left of the axis lambda=0. Assuming that (P0) has a solution and strenghtening our assumptions to mu(x)geqmu1>0 and hgneqq0, we show that the continuum bifurcates from infinity on the right of the axis lambda=0 and this implies, in particular, the existence of two solutions for any lambda>0 sufficiently small.
