Existence of multiple positive solutions for a \(p\)-Laplacian system with sign-changing weight functions (Q2426885)

The authors study the existence of multiple positive solutions for the system \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta_p u=\lambda a(x)\left| u\right|^{p-2}u +(\alpha+1)c(x)\left| u\right|^{\alpha-1}u \left| v\right|^{\beta+1},&x\in\Omega, \\ -\Delta_p v=\mu b(x)\left| v\right|^{p-2}v +(\beta+1)c(x)\left| u\right|^{\alpha+1} \left| v\right|^{\beta-1}v, &x\in\Omega,\end{cases} \] subject to homogeneous Dirichlet conditions in the following setting: \(\emptyset\neq\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^N\) bounded domain, \(p,q>1\), \(\alpha,\beta\) positive, \(a,b,c\in C(\bar\Omega)\) sign changing. The main tools are Nehari manifold and fibering map.
