Abstract

We prove bifurcation at infinity for a semilinear wave equation depending on a parameter $λ$ and subject to Dirichlet-periodic boundary conditions. We assume the nonlinear term to be asymptotically linear and not necessarily monotone. We prove the existence of L^∞ solutions tending to $+∞$ when the bifurcation parameter approaches eigenvalues of finite multiplicity of the wave operator. Further details are presented in cases of simple eigenvalues and odd multiplicity eigenvalues.
