In this paper, we study the global bifurcation of infinity of a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems for fourth-order ordinary differential equations with nondifferentiable nonlinearity. We prove the existence of two families of unbounded continuance of solutions bifurcating at infinity and corresponding to the usual nodal properties near bifurcation intervals.

We consider the class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems where yp* = |y|p sgn y, pi > 0 and p0p1 … pn−1 = r, with various boundary conditions. We prove the existence of eigenvalues and study the zero properties and structure of the corresponding eigenfunctions.

SynopsisThis paper combines the global bifurcation theory of Rabinowitz with Sturmian theory and careful estimates to obtain a detailed qualitative description of bifurcating branches of solutions to the equations for whirling nonuniform, nonlinearly elastic strings. These results generalize earlier work of Kolodner and Stuart on inextensible strings. It is shown that the location of solution branches for the generalization of Kolodner's problem is especially sensitive to the material properties of the string, whereas that for Stuart's problem is not. The analysis of a third problem illuminates the source of this dichotomy.
