Synopsis

In this paper we discuss the existence and multiplicity of solutions to some perturbed bifurcation problems. By using sub and supersolution techniques along with an anti-maximum principle, simple proofs of some “well known” local results of perturbed bifurcation theory are obtained. The existence of global continua of solutions is proved by using degree theory arguments.
