Abstract:
We are concerned with qualitative properties of the bifurcation diagram of a free boundary problem arising in plasma physics, showing in particular uniqueness and monotonicity of its solutions. We then discuss a new approach to study the Rabinowitz continuum of classical Gelfand problems.
