Elliptic systems with some superlinear assumption only around the origin (Q1991515)

The authors establish the existence of a positive radial solution of the system \[ \begin{aligned} & -\text{div}(|x|^{\alpha_1}\nabla u)=|x|^{\beta_1}f(|x|,u,v),\;-\text{div}(|x|^{\alpha_2}\nabla v)=|x|^{\beta_2}g(|x|,u,v),\;x\in B;\\& \;u(x)=0=v(x),\;x\in \partial B;\;B=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^N:|x|<1\}, \end{aligned} \] where \( \beta_1-\alpha_1>-2,\;\beta_2-\alpha_2>-2\) and \(f,\,g:[0,1]\times [0,+\infty)^2\to [0,+\infty)\) are continuous functions. The first two theorems distinguish two cases: \(\alpha_1=\alpha_2\) and \(\alpha_1<\alpha_2\). A third theorem deals with the Hamiltonian-type system. The non-homogeneous system is studied as an application. The main novelties are the growth of the nonlinearities above the critical hyperbola on some part of the domain as well as only local superlinear hypotheses at \(\infty\).
