This paper continues our study of non-linear multiparameter eigenvalue problems. In recent work [3], [4], [5] we have discussed bifurcation from eigenvalues in both abstract and concrete multiparameter problems. In this note we present further simple conditions which will ensure bifurcation from eigenvalues of a multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problem. We consider the regular case and the asymptotic case of bifurcation from infinity.
