We study exact multiplicity and bifurcation curves of positive solutions of the boundary value problem \begin{eqnarray} &u"(x)+\lambda (-u^4+\sigma u^3-\tau u^2+\rho u)=0, -1 < x < 1, \\ &u(-1)=u(1)=0, \end{eqnarray} where $\sigma, \tau \in \mathbb{R}$, $\rho \geq 0,$ and $\lambda >0$ is a bifurcation parameter. Then on the $(\lambda, \|u\|_\infty)$-plane, we give a classification of four qualitatively different bifurcation curves: an S-shaped curve, a broken S-shaped curve, a $\subset$-shaped curve and a monotone increasing curve.
Keywords: $S$-shaped bifurcation curve, exact multiplicity, broken $S$-shaped bifurcation curve, nonpositone problem, time map..
