Abstract

We consider a boundary-value problem of the form Lu = ?f(u), where L is a 2m-th order disconjugate ordinary differential operator (m = 2 is an integer), ? ? [0, 8), and the function f : R ? R is C² and satisfies f(?) > 0, ? ? R. Under various convexity or concavity type assumptions on f we show that this problem has a smooth curve, S₀, of solutions (?,u), emanating from (?, u) = (0, 0), and we describe the shape and asymptotes of S₀. All the solutions on S₀ are positive and all solutions for which u is stable lie on S₀.
