摘要： In this paper, we study the coupled system of Kirchhoff type equations

$$\begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\bigg(a+b\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}{|\nabla u|^{2}{\rm d}x}\bigg)\Delta u+ u = \frac{2\alpha}{\alpha+\beta}|u|^{\alpha-2}u|v|^{\beta}, & x\in \mathbb{R}^3, \\[3mm] -\bigg(a+b\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}{|\nabla v|^{2}{\rm d}x}\bigg)\Delta v+ v = \frac{2\beta}{\alpha+\beta}|u|^{\alpha}|v|^{\beta-2}v, & x\in \mathbb{R}^3, \\[2mm] u,v\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^3), \end{array} \right. \end{equation*}$$ where $a,b > 0$, $\alpha, \beta > 1$ and $3 < \alpha+\beta < 6$. We prove the existence of a ground state solution for the above problem in which the nonlinearity is not 4-superlinear at infinity. Also, using a discreetness property of Palais-Smale sequences and the Krasnoselkii genus method, we obtain the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct solutions in the case when $\alpha, \beta \geq 2$ and $4\leq\alpha+\beta < 6$.
