β¦ Synopsis
We study the bifurcation diagrams of positive solutions of the p-Laplacian Dirichlet problem
is the onedimensional p-Laplacian, and > 0 is a bifurcation parameter. We assume that functions g and h satisfy hypotheses (H1)-(H3). Under hypotheses (H1)-(H3), we give a complete classification of bifurcation diagrams, and we prove that, on the ( , u β )-plane, each bifurcation diagram consists of exactly one curve which is either a monotone curve or has exactly one turning point where the curve turns to the right. Hence the problem has at most two positive solutions for each > 0. More precisely, we prove the exact multiplicity of positive solutions. In addition, for p = 2, we give interesting examples which show the evolution phenomena of bifurcation diagrams.

## Abstract We study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenelements of the Dirichlet problem for the Laplacian in a twoβdimensional bounded domain with thin shoots, depending on a small parameter Ξ΅. Under the assumption that the width of the shoots goes to zero, as Ξ΅ tends to zero, we construct the l
