Bifurcation From Infinity For Reaction–Diffusion Equations Under Nonlinear Boundary Conditions, Nsoki Mavinga, R. Pardo

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Works

We consider reaction–diffusion equations under nonlinear boundary conditions where the nonlinearities are asymptotically linear at infinity and depend on a parameter. We prove that, as the parameter crosses some critical values, a resonance-type phenomenon provides solutions that bifurcate from infinity. We characterize the bifurcated branches when they are sub- or supercritical. We obtain both Landesman–Lazer-type conditions that guarantee the existence of solutions in the resonant case and an anti-maximum principle.
