Abstract

In this work we analyze the existence of solutions to the nonlinear elliptic system: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{rcll} -\Delta u & = & v^q+\a g & \text{in }\Omega , \\ -\Delta v& = &|\nabla u|^{p}+\l f &\text{in }\Omega , \\ u=v&=& 0 & \text{on }\partial \Omega ,\\ u,v& \geq & 0 & \text{in }\Omega, \end{array}% \right. \end{equation*} where Ω\Omega is a bounded domain of \ren\ren and p1p\ge 1, q>0q>0 with pq>1pq>1. f,gf,g are nonnegative measurable functions with additional hypotheses and \a,\l0\a, \l\ge 0. As a consequence we show that the fourth order problem \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{rcll} \Delta^2 u & = &|\nabla u|^{p}+\tilde{\l} \tilde{f} &\text{in }\Omega , \\ u=\D u&=& 0 & \text{on }\partial \Omega ,\\ \end{array}% \right. \end{equation*} has a solution for all p>1p>1, under suitable conditions on f~\tilde{f} and \l~\tilde{\l}.
