Global and Local Structures of Bifurcation Curves of ODE with Nonlinear Diffusion

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem Duu′′+λfu=0, u(t)>0, t∈I≔(0,1), u(0)=u(1)=0, where D(u)=uk, f(u)=u2n-k-1+sin⁡u, and λ>0 is a bifurcation parameter. Here, n∈N and k (0≤k<2n-1) are constants. This equation is related to the mathematical model of animal dispersal and invasion, and...
