This paper analyzes the existence and structure of the positive solutions of a very simple superlinear indefinite semilinear elliptic prototype model under non-homogeneous boundary conditions, measured by M ≤ ∞.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the existence and structure of the positive solutions of a very simple superlinear indefinite semilinear elliptic prototype model under non-homogeneous boundary conditions, measured by M ≤ ∞. Rather strikingly, there are ranges of values of the parameters involved in its setting for which the model admits an arbitrarily large number of positive solutions, as a result of their fast oscillatory behavior, for sufficiently large M. Further, using the amplitude of the superlinear term as the main bifurcation parameter, we can ascertain the global bifurcation diagram of the positive solutions. This seems to be the first work where these multiplicity results have been documented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
