Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for elliptic systems (Q4354584)

The authors investigate the existence and multiplicity of positive radial solutions for boundary value problems of the form \[ \Delta u+\lambda k_1(|x|)f(u,v)= 0,\quad \Delta v+\mu k_2(|x|)g(u,v)=0 \] in a domain \(\Omega= \{x\in\mathbb{R}^N: 0< R_1<|x|< R_2\}\), \(u|_{\partial\Omega}= v|_{\partial\Omega}= 0\). The results are formulated in terms of \(f_0= \lim_{(u,v)\to 0} f(u,v)/(u+ v)\), \(g_0= \lim_{(u,v)\to 0} g(u,v)/(u+ v)\), \(f_\infty=\lim_{(u,v)\to\infty} f(u,v)/(u+ v)\), \(g_\infty= \lim_{(u,v)\to\infty} g(u,v)/(u+v)\).
