We study the bifurcation diagram and uniqueness of solutions of
By using a rescaling technique and the Implicit Function Theorem, we establish the global bifurcation diagram. Uniqueness is proved by a separation argument to complete the bifurcation picture of the problem. Our study suggests that the bifurcation diagrams have different behaviour at λ = 0, depending on whether g(∞) > 0 or g(∞) < 0 in L∞ norm, but quite similar behaviour in Lp or W2,1.
