<p>Abstract</p> <p>We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problems <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i2.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i3.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i4.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i5.gif"/></inline-formula>, where <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i6.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i7.gif"/></inline-formula>, and <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i8.gif"/></inline-formula> for <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i9.gif"/></inline-formula>, with <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i10.gif"/></inline-formula>; <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i11.gif"/></inline-formula>; <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i12.gif"/></inline-formula>. There exist two constants <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i13.gif"/></inline-formula> such that <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i14.gif"/></inline-formula> and <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i15.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2008-254593-i16.gif"/></inline-formula>. Using the global bifurcation techniques, we study the global behavior of the components of nodal solutions of the above problems.</p>
