In this paper, we are concerned with the global structure of radial positive solutions of boundary value problem
div(ϕN(∇v))+λf(|x|,v)=0 in B(R), v=0 on ∂B(R),
where , y∈RN, λ is a positive parameter, B(R)={x∈RN:|x|<R}, and |⋅| denotes the Euclidean norm in RN. All results, depending on the behavior of nonlinear term f near 0, are obtained by using global bifurcation techniques.
