    A numerical method for computing all solutions of a semilinear elliptic problem \(Au+g[u,\lambda]=0\) and their Morse indices is presented. The method uses an alternative problem analogous to the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and a corresponding finite dimensional analogue obtained via a finite element discretization. Convergence is analyzed. Several numerical examples are presented. For a fixed value of the bifurcation parameter \(\lambda\), a subdivision algorithm is used together with a priori estimates to find all solutions of a low dimensional bifurcation equation. The Morse indices of the computed solutions is then easily computed and stability of the solutions is determined.
