文摘We generalize a result on bifurcation from infinity of high order ordinary differential equations with multi-point boundary conditions. Our abstract setting represents a variant of Nonlinear Krein-Ruthman theorems. Furthermore, an analysis of this abstract setting raises an open question motivated by some misunderstanding and inconclusive proofs about the simplicity of principal eigenvalues in some articles in the literature.
