Abstract

We study a weakly coupled supercritical elliptic system of the form \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u = |x_2|^\gamma \left(\mu_{1}|u|^{p-2}u+\lambda\alpha |u|^{\alpha-2}|v|^{\beta}u \right) & \text{in }\Omega,\\ -\Delta v = |x_2|^\gamma \left(\mu_{2}|v|^{p-2}v+\lambda\beta |u|^{\alpha}|v|^{\beta-2}v \right) & \text{in }\Omega,\\ u=v=0 & \text{on }\partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where Ω\Omega is a bounded smooth domain in RN\mathbb{R}^{N}, N3N\geq 3, γ0\gamma\geq 0, μ1,μ2>0\mu_{1},\mu_{2}>0, λR\lambda\in\mathbb{R}, α,β>1\alpha, \beta>1, α+β=p\alpha+\beta = p, and p2:=2NN2p\geq 2^{*}:=\frac{2N}{N-2}. We assume that Ω\Omega is invariant under the action of a group GG of linear isometries, RN\mathbb{R}^{N} is the sum FFF\oplus F^\perp of GG-invariant linear subspaces, and x2x_2 is the projection onto FF^\perp of the point xΩx\in\Omega. Then, under some assumptions on Ω\Omega and FF, we establish the existence of infinitely many fully nontrivial GG-invariant solutions to this system for p2p\geq 2^* up to some value which depends on the symmetries and on γ\gamma. Our results apply, in particular, to the system with pure power nonlinearity (γ=0\gamma=0), and yield new existence and multiplicity results for the supercritical H\'enon-type equation Δw=x2γwp2win Ω,w=0on Ω.-\Delta w = |x_2|^\gamma \,|w|^{p-2}w \quad\text{in }\Omega, \qquad w=0 \quad\text{on }\partial\Omega.
