Abstract: We study the system of semilinear elliptic equations ${\displaystyle }$-Delta u_i+ u_i = sum_{j=1}^ell �eta_{ij}|u_j|^p|u_i|^{p-2}u_i, qquad u_iin H^1(mathbb{R}^N),qquad i=1,ldots,ell,${\displaystyle }$ where $Ngeq4$, $1<p<fracNN-2$, and the matrix $$ is symmetric and admits a block decomposition such that the entries within each block are positive or zero and all other entries are negative. We provide simple conditions on $$, which guarantee the existence of fully nontrivial solutions, i.e., solutions all of whose components are nontrivial. We establish existence of fully nontrivial solutions to the system having a prescribed combination of positive and nonradial sign-changing components, and we give an upper bound for their energy when the system has at most two blocks. We derive the existence of solutions with positive and nonradial sign-changing components to the system of singularly perturbed elliptic equations ${\displaystyle }$-varepsilon^2Delta u_i+ u_i = sum_{j=1}^ell �eta_{ij}|u_j|^p|u_i|^{p-2}u_i, qquad u_iin H^1_0(B_1(0)),qquad i=1,ldots,ell,${\displaystyle }$ in the unit ball, exhibiting two different kinds of asymptotic behavior: solutions whose components decouple as $varepsilono0$, and solutions whose components remain coupled all the way up to their limit.
