Synopsis

For a semilinear second order differential equation on (0, ∞), conditions are given for the bifurcation and asymptotic bifurcation in Lp of solutions to the Neumann problem. Bifurcation occurs at the lowest point of the spectrum of the linearised problem. Under stronger hypotheses, there is a global branch of solutions. These results imply similar conclusions for the same equation on R with appropriate symmetry.
