This paper is a continuation of the previous papers Taira-Umezu [TU1] and [TU2] where we studied global static bifurcation theory for a class of degenerate boundary value problems for nonlinear second-order elliptic differential operators. The previous papers treated the asymptotic linear and nonlinear cases, for example, such nonlinear terms as u+ 1/u and up, p> 1, near u=+∞, by using the Leray-Schauder degree theory. The purpose of this paper is to study more general nonlinear terms such as√ u, log (1+ u) and e− u, and is to prove the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems, by making good use of the super-subsolution method. We remark that the variational method would break down, since our boundary condition is degenerate. Let D be a bounded domain of Euclidean space RN, N≥ 2, with C∞ boundary∂ D; its closure D= D∪∂ D is an N-dimensional, compact C∞ manifold with boundary. We let
