Abstract:
Nonlinear eigenvalue problems are investigated for ordinary differential equations of fourth order. Local and global bifurcations of nontrivial solutions of these problems are investigated. It is shown that the set of nontrivial solutions of the problems under consideration that bifurcate from points and intervals of the line of trivial solutions contains unbounded continua.
