Bifurcations for semilinear elliptic equations with convex nonlinearity

We investigate the exact number of positive solutions of the semilinear Dirichlet boundary value problem $Delta u+f(u) = 0$ on a ball in ${mathbb R}^n$ where $f$ is a strictly convex $C^2$ function on $[0,infty)$. For the one-dimensional case we classify all strictly convex $C^2$ functions according...
