We study the classification and evolution of bifurcation curves of positive solutions for the Dirichlet-Neumann boundary value problem u''(x)+λf(u)=0, 00 is a bifurcation parameter and c>0 is an evolution parameter. We mainly prove that, under some suitable assumptions on f, there exists c₁>0, such that, on the (λ,‖u‖∞)-plane, (i) when 0
