(1.1) Au+ 2f (u)= 0 in OcIR n, 2EP-., u= 0 on Of 2, u> 0 inf2, has been studied in many publications (the first global description was given in [19]). Nonetheless there were open questions some of which are answered in this paper. We motivate some of these questions now: For a suitable class of (smooth) fimctions f: IR+~ IR problem (1.1) has infinitely many solutions for 2= 1. This was shown in [15] via the method of sub-and supersolutions which also gives an order of these solutions: 0< ul< u2<.... If moreover f (0)--0 and f (0)> 0 (which is not excluded in [15]) there is also a global branch (= continuum) C+ of solutions (2, u) bifurcating from the trivial solution line {(2, 0)} at 2= 21 where# 1= 21 f'(0) is the principal eigenvalue of the linearization
