Multiplicity result for asymptotically linear noncooperative elliptic systems (Q2857522)

This paper is concerned with multiplicity of solutions for the semilinear elliptic system \(-\Delta u=F_u(x,u,v)\) in \(\Omega\), \(-\Delta v=F_v(x,u,v)\) in \(\Omega\), subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here, \(\Omega\) is a smooth and bounded domain, \(F\) is a \(C^2\) continuous function, symmetric and having quadratic growth on \(u\) and \(v\) variables. The main result of the paper establishes the existence of multiple solutions whose number is bounded from below by several parameters involving Morse index. The proof combines a saddle point reduction technique with abstract critical point theorems.
