On the solution of Hammerstein integral equations with loads and bifurcation parameters

The Hammerstein integral equation with loads on the desired solution is considered. The equation contains a parameter for any value of which the equation has a trivial solution. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the coefficients of the equation and those values of the parameter (bifurcation points) in its neighborhood the equation has a nontrivial real solutions. The leading terms of the asymptotics of such branches of solutions are constructed. Examples are given illustrating the proven existence theorems.
