Regularity of the extremal solutions associated to elliptic systems
Abstract
We examine the two elliptic systems given by [(G)_{\lambda,\gamma} \quad -\Delta u = \lambda f'(u) g(v), \quad -\Delta v = \gamma f(u) g'(v) \quad in ,] and [(H)_{\lambda,\gamma} \quad -\Delta u = \lambda f(u) g'(v), \quad -\Delta v = \gamma f'(u) g(v) \quad in },] with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions and where are positive parameters. We show that for arbitrary nonlinearities and that the extremal solutions associated with are bounded provided is a convex domain in where . In the case of a radial domain we show the extremal solutions are bounded provided . The extremal solutions associated with are bounded in the case where is arbitrary, where and where is a bounded convex domain in , . Results are also obtained in higher dimensions for and for the case of explicit nonlinearities of the form and .
