Let us consider the abstract equation

(0.1) L (ɛ) u + F (ɛ,u) = 0,

where F (ɛ,u) = 0 (|u|2) for ɛ near zero. In this paper we define a multiplicity depending only on L (ɛ) allowing us to obtain the following result: “Odd multiplicity entails bifurcation and, if the multiplicity is even, it is possible to find F (ɛ,u) such that the only solution to (0.1) near the origin are the trivial ones”.
