Bifurcation Curve Diagrams for a Diffusive Generalized Logistic Problem with Minkowski Curvature Operator and Constant-Yield Harvesting

Abstract

This paper investigates the bifurcation diagrams of positive solutions for a one-dimensional diffusive generalized logistic boundary-value problem with the Minkowski curvature operator and constant yield harvesting. We prove that the corresponding bifurcation curves on both the (lambda, sup-norm of u)-plane and the (mu, sup-norm of u)-plane are C-shaped. Furthermore, by characterizing the bifurcation set on the (mu, lambda)-plane, we determine the exact multiplicity of positive solutions.
