Infinitely many entire solutions of an elliptic system with symmetry (Q1382801)

The author proves two theorems on the existence of infinitely many solutions of the elliptic system \[ -\Delta u + q(x)u = H_v(x,u,v), \qquad -\Delta v + q(x)v = H_u(x,u,v) \] for \(x \in \mathbb R^N\). In the first theorem \(H\) is superquadratic in \(z=(u,v)\), in the second theorem \(H\) is subquadratic. In both theorems \(H\) is even in \(z\) and \(q(x) \to \infty\) as \(| x| \to \infty\). The solutions lie in \(H^1(\mathbb R^N,\mathbb R^2)\). The proof is based on variational methods using a version of the symmetric mountain pass theorem and a linking theorem for strongly indefinite functionals.
