In the paper under review the authors consider the coupled elliptic partial differential equations \[ \begin{aligned} &\Delta u + (|u|^{p-1} + \beta_1 |v|^{p-1}) u =0,\\ &\Delta v + (\beta_1 |u|^{p-1} + \beta_2 |v|^{p-1}) v =0 \end{aligned} \] in the entire space \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\) with \(d\geq3\) where \((u,v)=(u(x),v(x))\) are real-valued functions on \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\), \(\Delta\) is the Laplace operator on \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\) and \(p, \beta_1, \beta_2 \in\mathbb{R}\) are constants such that \(p=(d+2)/(d-2)\) and \(\beta_2>0\). They investigate the bifurcations of three families of radially symmetric, bounded solutions. To this end, first they reduce the problems of the three families radially symmetric homoclinic orbits in a four-dimensional reversible system of ordinary differential equations. It is shown that transcritical or pitchfork bifurcations of the three families occur at infinitely many parameter values. Finally, numerical computations for symmetric homoclinic orbits and radially symmetric bounded solutions are given.
