Abstract

We prove existence results for the Lane-Emden type system {(Δ)αu=vq(Δ)βv=up in B1RNruνr=0,r=0,,α1, on B1rvνr=0,r=0,,β1, on B1. \begin{cases} \begin{aligned} (-\Delta)^{\alpha} u=\left| v \right|^q \\ (-\Delta)^{\beta} v= \left| u \right|^p \end{aligned} \text{ in } B_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^N \\ \frac{\partial^{r} u}{\partial \nu^{r}}=0, \, r=0, \dots, \alpha-1, \text{ on } \partial B_1 \\ \frac{\partial^{r} v}{\partial \nu^{r}}=0, \, r=0, \dots, \beta-1, \text{ on } \partial B_1. \end{cases} where B1B_1 is the unitary ball in RN\mathbb{R}^N, N>max{2α,2β}N >\max \{2\alpha, 2\beta \}, ν\nu is the outward pointing normal, α,βN\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{N}, α,β1\alpha, \beta \ge 1 and (Δ)α=Δ((Δ)α1)(-\Delta)^{\alpha}= -\Delta((-\Delta)^{\alpha-1}) is the polyharmonic operator. A continuation method together with a priori estimates will be exploited. Moreover, we prove uniqueness for the particular case α=2\alpha=2, β=1\beta=1 and p,q>1p, q>1.
