Abstract:
We study the classification and evolution of bifurcation curves of positive solutions for a one-dimensional perturbed Gelfand equation with mixed boundary conditions. Our results substantially improve and generalize those given by Hung, Wang and Yu (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 392 (2012) 40-54) and answer with rigorous proofs some of the computational results provided by Goddard II, Shivaji and Lee (Bound. Value Probl. 2010, Art. ID 357542, 23 pages).
