Abstract

Consider the Lane-Emden system \begin{equation*}\begin{aligned} &-\Delta u=v^p,\quad u>0,\quad\text{in}~\Omega, &-\Delta v=u^q,\quad v>0,\quad\text{in}~\Omega, &u=v=0,\quad\text{on}~\partial\Omega, \end{aligned}\end{equation*} where Ω\Omega is a smooth bounded domain in RN\mathbb{R}^N with N2N\geq 2 and qp>0q\ge p>0. The asymptotic behavior of {\it least energy solutions} of this system was studied for N3N\geq 3. However, the case N=2N=2 is different and remains completely open. In this paper, we study the case N=2N=2 with q=p+θpq=p+\theta_p and suppθp<+\sup_p\theta_p<+\infty. Under the following natural condition that holds for least energy solutions lim supp+pΩupvpdx<+,\limsup_{p\to+\infty} p\int_\Omega\nabla u_p\cdot\nabla v_p \mathrm{d} x<+\infty, we give a complete description of the asymptotic behavior of {\it positive solutions} (up,vp)(u_p,v_p) (i.e., not only for least energy solutions) as p+\iyp\to+\iy. This seems the first result for asymptotic behaviors of the Lane-Emden system in the two dimension case.
