On branches of positive solutions for p-Laplacian problems at the extreme value of Nehari manifold method

This paper is concerned with variational continuation of branches of solutions for nonlinear boundary value problems, which involve the p-Laplacian, the indefinite nonlinearity, and depend on the real parameter $λ$. A special focus is made on the extreme value of Nehari manifold $λ^*$, which determines the threshold of applicability of Nehari manifold method. In the main result the existence of two branches of positive solutions for the cases where parameter $λ$ lies above the threshold $λ^*$ is obtained.
