Abstract

The goal of this paper is to study the existence of non-trivial weak solution for the following system of nonlinear elliptic equations: div(h1(x)u)+a(x)u=f(x,u,v) in Ωdiv(h2(x)v)+b(x)v=g(x,u,v) in Ω with Neumann condition: un=0,vn=0u(x)0,v(x)0 as |x|+ where ΩRN,N3 is an unbounded domain with smooth bounded boundary Ω, and hi(x)Lloc1(Ω), i=1,2, Ω=ΩΩ. The solutions will be obtained in a subspace of the space H1(Ω) and the proofs rely essentially on a variation of the Mountain Pass Theorem in [7].
