Positive solutions for nonlinear elliptic systems

Adel Ben Dekhil

Abstract:
In this article, we study the existence of positive solutions for the system
$$\displaylines{
 \Delta u=H(x,u,v),\cr
 \Delta v=K(x,u,v),\hbox{in }\mathbb{R}^n\; (n\geq 3),
 }$$
where $H,K: \mathbb{R}^n\times[0,\infty)\times[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$ are continuous functions satisfying $H(x,u,v)\leq p_1(|x|)F(u+v)$ and $ K(x,u,v)\leq q_1(|x|)G(u+v)$. In terms of the growth of the variable potential functions $p_1,q_1$ and the nonlinearities F and G, we establish some sufficient conditions for the existence of positive continuous solutions for this system and we discuss whether these solutions are bounded or blow up at infinity.
