Multiple positive solutions for semi-linear elliptic systems involving sign-changing weight on manifolds with conical singularities (Q2401483)

In this paper, the authors consider the following semilinear elliptic systems with critical cone Sobolev exponent on manifolds with conical singularities \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta_{\mathbb{B}}u=f(x)|u|^{q-2}u+\frac{\alpha}{\alpha+\beta}h(x)|u|^{\alpha-2}u|v|^\beta,~x\in \mathrm{int}~\mathbb{B},\\ -\Delta_{\mathbb{B}}v=g(x)|v|^{q-2}v+\frac{\alpha}{\alpha+\beta}h(x)|u|^{\alpha}|v|^{\beta-2}v,~x\in \mathrm{int}~\mathbb{B},\\ u=v=0,~x\in\partial \mathbb{B}, \end{cases} \] where the domain \(\mathbb{B}\) \(=[0,1)\times X\) for \(X\subset \mathbb{R}^{n-1}\) compact, \(n>4\), \(\alpha,\beta>1\), \(2<q<\alpha+\beta=2^*=\frac{2n}{n-2}\), and the Fuchsian type Laplacian operator \(\Delta_{\mathbb{B}}\) is defined by \((x_1\partial)^2+\partial_{x_2}^2+\cdots+\partial_{x_2}^2\). Using the Nehari manifold method and Ljusternik- Schnirelmann category, the authors show that, for small \(\delta>0\), there exists \(\Lambda_\delta>0\) such that the above system possesses at least \(Cat_{M_\delta}(M)\) positive solutions provided \(\|f_{+}\|_{L_{\tau}^{\frac{n}{\tau}}}+\|g_{+}\|_{L_{\tau}^{\frac{n}{\tau}}}<\Lambda_\delta\), where \(M\) is the set of the maximum points of \(h\) in \(\mathbb{\bar B}\).
