Using the technique of Adimurthy, F. Pacella and S.L. Yadava [1], we extend an uniqueness result for a class of non-autonomous semilinear equations in M.K. Kwong and Y. Li [8]. We also observe that combining the results of [1] with bifurcation theory, one can obtain a detailed picture of the global solution curve for a class of concave-convex nonlinearities.
