    The author formulates a sufficient condition for complete or partial reduction of bifurcation equations in bifurcation problems with symmetries. Theoretical group methods of the dimension reduction of systems of bifurcation equations work either when the kernel of the linearized problem is invariant with respect to the admissible group or when the group itself is compact. This paper establishes that both restrictions can be removed for variational equations with an invariant functional.
