Abstract: We are concerned with the existence and boundary behaviour of positive radial solutions for the system �egin{equation*} left{ �egin{aligned} Delta u&=|x|^{a}v^{p} &&quadmbox{ in } Omega, \ Delta v&=|x|^{b}v^{q}f(| abla u|) &&quadmbox{ in } Omega, end{aligned} ight. end{equation*} where is either a ball centered at the origin or the whole space , a, b, p, q>0, and finC1[0,infty) is an increasing function such that f(t)>0 for all t>0. Firstly, we study the existence of positive radial solutions in case when the system is posed in a ball corresponding to their behaviour at the boundary. Next, we take f(t)=ts, s>1, and by the use of dynamical system techniques we are able to describe the behaviour at infinity for such positive radial solutions.


Consider the system \(\Delta u=|x|^a u^p\) in \(\Omega\), \(\Delta v=|x|^b v^q f(|\nabla u|)\) in \(\Omega\), where \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N\), \(N\geq 2\) is either a ball or the whole space. It is assumed that \(a,b,p,q>0\), \(f\in C^1[0, \infty)\) and \(f(t)>0\) for all \(t>0\). First, the authors characterize the existence of positive radial solutions in case \(\Omega=\mathbb B_r\subset \mathbb{R}^N\). It is abtained that the system has positive solutions \((u,v)\) with \(u\) or \(v\) (or both) blow up at the boudary of \(\Omega\) if and only if \(\int_1^\infty (\int_0^s F(t) dt)^{-p/(2p-q+1)} dy<\infty\), where \(F(t)=\int_0^t f(s)ds\). Next, the authors discuss the existence and the asymptotic behaviour of solutions when \(\Omega=\mathbb{R}^N\) and \(f(t)=t^s\), \(s\geq 1\). In this case it is shown that the system has a positive global solution if and only if \(ps+q-1\leq 0\). The approach relies on dynamical systems arguments combined with ODE techniques.
