Simplicity and stability of the first eigenvalue of a nonlinear elliptic system (Q2575960)

Summary: We prove some properties of the first eigenvalue for the elliptic system \[ \begin{aligned} -\Delta_p u= \lambda|u|^\alpha|v|^\beta v\quad &\text{in }\Omega,\\ -\Delta_q v= \lambda|u|^\alpha|v|^\beta u\quad &\text{in }\Omega,\\ (u,v)\in W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)\times W^{1,q}_0(\Omega).\end{aligned} \] In particular, the first eigenvalue is shown to be simple. Moreover, the stability with respect to \((p,q)\) is established.
