In this paper we deal with nonlinear second order boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations including the case of jumping nonlinearities. The set of generalised eigenvalues in the case of nonconstant coefficients is described. It is proved that these generalised eigenvalues are simultaneously bifurcation points of the problem with coefficients also depending on the solution u = u(x).
