A well known result of Rabinowitz shows that an unbounded continuum of positive solutions of this problem bifurcates from the principal eigenvalue of the linear problem. We show that under certain oscillation conditions on the nonlinearity , this continuum oscillates about , in a certain sense, as it approaches infinity. Hence, in particular, the equation has infinitely many positive solutions for each in an open interval containing .

Let be an open set and let denote the class of real analytic functions on . It is proved that for every surjective linear partial differential operator and every family depending holomorphically on there is a solution family depending on in the same way such that The result is a consequence of a characterization of Fréchet spaces such that the class of ``weakly' real analytic -valued functions coincides with the analogous class defined via Taylor series. An example shows that the analogous assertions need not be valid if is replaced by another set.

We prove a slightly stronger result, in which the exact structure of is not required. Our result can be used in conjunction with the ``weak -pair" theorem of Delgado and Stellmacher in order to identify subgroups of finite groups generated by minimal parabolics.

We show that a family of functions meromorphic in some domain is normal, if for all the derivative omits the value and if the values that can take at the zeros of satisfy certain restrictions. As an application we obtain a new proof of a theorem of Langley which classifies the functions meromorphic in the plane such that and have no zeros.

A Lie subalgebra of is said to be finitary if it consists of elements of finite rank. We show that, if acts irreducibly on , and if is infinite-dimensional, then every non-trivial ascendant Lie subalgebra of acts irreducibly on too. When , it follows that the locally solvable radical of such is trivial. In general, locally solvable finitary Lie algebras over fields of characteristic are hyperabelian.
