Local and global bifurcation from normal eigenvalues

John Alan MacBain

Vol. 63 (1976), No. 2, 445–466
Abstract

This paper studies the bifurcation of solutions of nonlinear eigenvalue problems of the form Lu = λu + H(λ,u), where L is linear and H is o(u) on bounded λ intervals. It is shown that isolated normal eigenvalues of L having odd algebraic multiplicity are bifurcation points, and moreover possess branches of solutions which satisfy an alternative theorem. A related situation is studied, and an application explored.
