Existence of entire positive solutions for semilinear elliptic systems with gradient term (Q453174)

The authors consider the elliptic system \[ \begin{aligned} \Delta u_1+ |\nabla u_1|= p_1(x) f_1(u_1, u_2)\quad &\text{in }\mathbb{R}^n,\\ \Delta u_2+ |\nabla u_2|= p_2(x) f_2(u_1, u_2)\quad &\text{in }\mathbb{R}^n\end{aligned} \] with \(n\geq 3\), \(p_j\), \(f_j\) positive, \(f_j(0,0)= 0\), \(f_j(s_1, s_2)> 0\) if \(s_1> 0\) or \(s_2> 0\), \(f_j\) nondecreasing in each variable. Under the Keller-Osserman conditions \[ \int^\infty_1 F(s)^{-1/2} ds= \infty,\quad\text{where }F(s)= \int^s_0 f_1(t, t)+ f_2(t, t)\,dt \] and with some additional assumption on the maps \(\varphi_j(t)= \max_{|x|=t}\,p_j(x)\), they prove that the system has a nontrivial positive bounded solution on \(\mathbb{R}^n\).
