On positive weak solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems (Q2483941)

The author deals with the existence and nonexistence of positive weak solutions to the quasilinear elliptic system \[ -\Delta_p u=\lambda u^\alpha v^\gamma\text{ in }\Omega,\quad -\Delta_qv=\lambda u^\delta v^\beta\text{ in }\Omega,\quad u(x)= v(x)= 0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega, \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb R^N\) with smooth \(\partial\Omega\), and \(\Delta_pz= \text{div}(|\nabla z|^{p-2}\nabla z)\), \(\lambda\) is a positive parameter, \(1< p,\,q< N\). Using the method of sub- and super-solutions the author obtains a critical exponent for existence and nonexistence of a positive weak solution.
