Abstract

In this paper we are concerned with the number of nonnegative solutions of the elliptic system {array}{ll} -\Delta u = Q_u(u,v) + 1/2{2^*} H_u(u,v),& {in} \Omega,\vdois\ -\Delta v = Q_v(u,v) + 1/{2^*} H_v(u,v),& {in} \Omega,\vdois\ u=v=0,& {on} \partial\Omega. \leqno{(P)} where ΩRN\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N is a bounded smooth domain, N3N \geq 3, 2:=2N/(N2)2^*:=2N/(N-2) and Qu,HuQ_u, H_u and QvQ_v, HvH_v are the partial derivatives of the homogeneous functions Q,HC1(R+2,R)Q,\,H \in C^1(\mathbb{R}^2_+,\mathbb{R}), where R+2:=[0,)×[0,) \mathbb{R}^2_+ := [0,\infty) \times [0,\infty). In the proofs we apply variational methods and Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory.
