Abstract

We study the elliptic system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u_1 - \kappa_1u_1 = \mu_1|u_1|^{p-2}u_1 + \lambda\alpha|u_1|^{\alpha-2}|u_2|^\beta u_1, \\ -\Delta u_2 - \kappa_2u_2 = \mu_2|u_2|^{p-2}u_2 + \lambda\beta|u_1|^\alpha|u_2|^{\beta-2}u_2, \\ u_1,u_2\in D^{1,2}_0(\Omega), \end{cases} \end{equation*} where Ω\Omega is a bounded domain in RN\mathbb{R}^N, N3N\geq 3, κ1,κ2R\kappa_1,\kappa_2\in\mathbb{R}, μ1,μ2,λ>0\mu_1,\mu_2,\lambda>0, α,β>1\alpha,\beta>1, and α+β=p2:=2NN2\alpha + \beta = p\le 2^*:=\frac{2N}{N-2}. For p(2,2)p\in (2,2^*) we establish the existence of a ground state and of a prescribed number of fully nontrivial solutions to this system for λ\lambda sufficiently large. If p=2p=2^* and κ1,κ2>0\kappa_1,\kappa_2>0 we establish the existence of a ground state for λ\lambda sufficiently large if, either N5N\ge5, or N=4N=4 and neither κ1\kappa_1 nor κ2\kappa_2 are Dirichlet eigenvalues of Δ-\Delta in Ω\Omega.
