Global bifurcation for a class of nonlinear ODEs

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We briefly survey global bifurcation techniques, and illustrate their use by finding multiple positive periodic solutions to a class of second order quasilinear ODEs related to the Yamabe problem. As an application, we give a bifurcation-theoretic proof of a classical nonuniqueness result for conformal metrics with constant scalar curvature, that was independently discovered by O. Kobayashi and R. Schoen in the 1980s.
