Abstract

We study the existence and regularity of weak solutions to the following quasilinear elliptic system: div(Ak(x,uk)ukpk2uk)+1pkDsAk(x,uk)ukpk=gk(x,u)in Ω,uk=0on Ω, -\mathrm{div}(A_k(x, u_k) |\nabla u_k|^{p_k - 2} \nabla u_k) + \dfrac{1}{p_k} D_s A_k(x, u_k) |\nabla u_k|^{p_k} = g_k(x, u) \quad \text{in } \Omega,\quad u_k = 0 \quad \text{on } \partial\Omega, where k=1,,dk=1,\dots,d, ΩRN \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N is a bounded domain with N2 N \geq 2 , p=(p1,,pd) \boldsymbol{p} = (p_1, \dots, p_d) , pk>1 p_k > 1 . Using tools from nonsmooth critical point theory, we prove the existence of infinitely many weak solutions in W01,p(Ω)L(Ω;Rd) W_0^{1,\boldsymbol{p}}(\Omega) \cap L^\infty(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^d) , where W01,p(Ω)=W01,p1(Ω)××W01,pd(Ω)W_0^{1,\boldsymbol p}(\Omega)=W_0^{1,p_1}(\Omega)\times\dots\times W_0^{1,p_d}(\Omega).
