 Employing a variant of Rabinowitz’s global bifurcation, we obtain the unbounded connected set (the first of the alternatives about Rabinowitz’s global bifurcation), which emanates from the symmetry-breaking bifurcation point. Moreover, we give an example of a bounded branch connecting two symmetry-breaking bifurcation points (the second of the alternatives about Rabinowitz’s global bifurcation) and show that a bifurcation point for Moore-Nehari equation is explicitly represented as a function of \p\ which is an exponent of nonlinear term.
