Abstract

The problem of bifurcation of a free boundary equilibrium is reconsidered in a simple model. We find which combinations of specified parameters result in a non-unique solution and find the resulting bifurcation point. By including reversed current solutions, the model sheds some light on the equilibrium βp limit obtained in previous analytic and numerical models.
