In this paper we consider global bifurcation of solutions of nonlinear eigenvalue problems for second order uniformly elliptic equations with an indefinite weight function and the Dirichlet boundary condition. We show the existence of an unbounded continua contained in the classes of positive and negative functions and bifurcating from the points of the line of trivial solutions corresponding to the principal eigenvalues of the linearized problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
