Existence of non-trivial solutions of elliptic variational systems in unbounded domains (Q697526)

The authors investigate the system \[ -\Delta_p u = Q_u(u,v) + H_u(u,v),\quad -\Delta_p v = Q_v(u,v) + H_v(u,v) \] where \(\Delta_p\) denotes the \(p\)-Laplacian defined by \(\Delta_p w := \text{ div }\left(|\nabla w|^{p-2} \nabla w \right)\). They intend to prove existence of nontrivial solutions for the corresponding Dirichlet problem in \(\Omega\) which is assumed to be either a cylinder or the domain between two parallel cylinders in \(r z^N\). This goal is achieved under some conditions on \(Q\) and \(H\) where in particular \(H\) is assumed to be \(p^*\)-homogeneous where \(p^*\) denotes the critical Sobolev exponent.
