  • This paper computes and discusses a series of intricate global bifurcation diagrams for a class of one-dimensional superlinear indefinite boundary value problems arising in population dynamics, under non-homogeneous boundary conditions, measured by M > 0; the main bifurcation parameter being the amplitude b of the superlinear terms.
