Asymptotic Behavior of the Bifurcation Diagrams for Semilinear Problems with Application to Inverse Bifurcation Problems

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem u″(t)+λf(u(t))=0,  u(t)>0,  t∈I=:(-1,1),  u(1)=u(-1)=0, where f(u) is a cubic-like nonlinear term and λ>0 is a parameter. It is known by Korman et al. (2005) that, under the suitable conditions on f(u), there exist exactly three bifurcation branches...
