Abstract: Many physical systems can be described by nonlinear eigenvalues and bifurcation problems with a linear part that is non-selfadjoint e.g. due to the presence of loss and gain. The balance of these effects is reflected in an antilinear symmetry, like e.g. the PT-symmetry, of the problem. Under this condition we show that the nonlinear eigenvalues bifurcating from real linear eigenvalues remain real and the corresponding nonlinear eigenfunctions remain symmetric. The abstract results are applied in a number of physical models of Bose-Einstein condensation, nonlinear optics and superconductivity, and further numerical analysis is performed.
