Direction of bifurcation for some non-autonomous problems

We study the exact multiplicity of positive solutions, and the global solution structure for several classes of non-autonomous two-point problems. We present two situations where the direction of turn can be computed rather directly. As an application, we consider a problem from combustion theor...

description We study the exact multiplicity of positive solutions, and the global solution structure for several classes of non-autonomous two-point problems. We present two situations where the direction of turn can be computed rather directly. As an application, we consider a problem from combustion theory with a sign-changing potential. We illustrate our results by numerical computations, using a novel method.
