Abstract: | In this paper, we consider a semilinear elliptic boundary value problem in a smooth bounded domain, having the so-called logistic nonlinearity that originates from population dynamics, with a nonlinear boundary condition. Although the logistic nonlinearity has an absorption effect in the problem, the nonlinear boundary condition is induced by the homogeneous incoming flux on the boundary. The objective of our study is to analyze the existence of a bifurcation component of positive solutions from trivial solutions and its asymptotic behavior and stability. We perform this analysis using the method developed by Lyapunov and Schmidt, based on a scaling argument. |
