Positive solutions to \(p\)-Laplace reaction-diffusion systems with nonpositive right-hand side (Q519334)

The goal of this paper is to prove that the following system \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta_p u_i(x)=f_i(u_1(x),\dots,u_m(x)), & x\in\Omega,\;i=1,\dots,m,\\ u_i(x)\geq 0, & x\in\Omega,\;i=1,\dots,m,\\ u_i(x)=0, & x\in \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \] admits nontrivial solutions. In particular, with slight assumptions on the growth of \(f\), the author is able to prove that the above system has nonnegative solutions. The proof makes use of a degree theory that was developed by the author and \textit{A. Ćwiszewski} in [J. Differ. Equations 254, No. 3, 1120--1136 (2013; Zbl 1336.35172)].
