This paper studies the Neumann problem of a nonlocal Allen-Cahn equation in an interval. A main result finds a symmetry breaking (secondary) bifurcation point on the bifurcation curve of solutions with odd-symmetry. Our proof is based on a level set analysis for the associated integral map. A method using the complete elliptic integrals proves the uniqueness of secondary bifurcation point. We also show some numerical simulations concerning the global bifurcation structure. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
