-Au=~ f (u) in t9 u= 0 on~ t9 u> 0 in~, for some nonlinearities which are asymptotically like a supercritical power at infinity and~ 9 is a rather symmetric domain. We prove that the branch of positive solutions must undergo infinitely many bifurcations as it becomes unbounded (possibly only changes of direction). This shows that the behaviour of our problem on many domains is very similar to that for a ball. Our result seems to be the first such result for domains which are not balls. Indeed even on balls, our results hold for a much larger class of nonlinearities than the earlier results. The earlier results tended to be for particular nonlinearities as in [22]. Indeed, we reduce the question on more general domains and for more general nonlinearities to a question on R n. We believe much more can be done on this problem.
