Abstract

In this paper we study global bifurcation phenomena for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations governed by the h-Hessian operator. The bifurcation phenomena considered provide new methods for establishing existence results concerning fully nonlinear elliptic equations. Applications to the theory of critical exponents and the geometry of k-convex functions are considered. In addition, a related problem of Liouville–Gelfand type is analyzed.
