We consider elliptic boundary value problems on large spherical
caps with parameter dependent power nonlinearities. In this paper we show
that imperfect bifurcation occurs as in the work [13]. When the domain is the
whole sphere, there is a constant solution. In the case where the domain is a
spherical cap, however, the constant solution disappears due to the boundary
condition. For large spherical caps we construct solutions which are close to the
constant solution in the whole n-dimensional sphere, using the eigenvalues of
the linearized problem in the whole sphere and fixed point arguments based on a
Lyapunov-Schmidt type reduction. Numerically there is a surprising similarity
between the diagrams of this problem and the ones obtained in [18], also [5],
for a Brezis-Nirenberg type problem on spherical caps.
