We study exact multiplicity and bifurcation curves of positive solutions for a multiparameter diffusive logistic problem with Holling type-Ⅲ functional response
${\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} {{u^{\prime \prime }}(x) + \lambda \left[ {ru(1 - \frac{u}{q}) - \frac{{{u^p}}}{{1 + {u^p}}}\% } \right] = 0{\text{,}} - {\text{1}} < x < 1{\text{,}}} \\ {u( - 1) = u(1) = 0{\text{, }}} \end{array}} \right.},$
where u is the population density of the species, p > 1, q, r are two positive dimensionless parameters, and λ > 0 is a bifurcation parameter. For fixed p > 1, assume that q, r satisfy one of the following conditions: (ⅰ) r ≤ η1, p* q and (q, r) lies above the curve
$\begin{array}{l}{\Gamma _1} = \{ (q,r):q(a) = \frac{{a[2{a^p} - (p - 2)]}}{{{a^p} - (p - 1)}}{\rm{, }}\\\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad r(a) = \frac{{{a^{p - 1}}[2{a^p} - (p - 2)]}}{{{{({a^p} + 1)}^2}}}{\rm{, }}\sqrt[p]{{p - 1}}\% < a < C_p^*\} ;\end{array}$
(ⅱ) r ≤ η2, p* q and (q, r) lies on or below the curve Γ1, where η1, p* and η2, p* are two positive constants, and $C_{p}^{*}={{\left(\frac{{{p}^{2}}+3p-4+p\sqrt{%{{p}^{2}}+6p-7}}{4} \right)}^{1/p}}$. Then on the (λ, ||u||∞)-plane, we give a classification of three qualitatively different bifurcation curves: an S-shaped curve, a broken S-shaped curve, and a monotone increasing curve. Hence we are able to determine the exact multiplicity of positive solutions by the values of q, r and λ.
