We exploit symmetries in certain semilinear elliptic eigenvalue problems withNeumann boundary conditions for the continuation of solution curves. We showthat symmetry makes the problem decomposable into small ones, and thediscretization matrix obtained via central differences associated to theLaplacian is similar to a symmetric one. Furthermore, the discrete problemspreserve some basic properties on eigenvalues of the continuous problems.Thus the continuation-Lanczos algorithm can be adapted to trace the solutioncurves of the reduced problems. Sample numerical results are reported.
