Abstract:

In this article, we consider the existence of positive solutions for weakly coupled nonlinear elliptic systems
$$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll}-\Delta u+u=(1+a(x))|u|^{p-1}u+\mu|u|^{\alpha-2}u|v|^\beta+\lambda v
\quad & \rm{in}\ {\Bbb R}^N,\\
-\Delta v+v=(1+b(x))|v|^{p-1}v+\mu|u|^\alpha|v|^{\beta-2}v+\lambda u
& \rm{in} \ {\Bbb R}^N. \end{array} \right.\eqno(0.1)$$
To find nontrivial solutions, we first investigate autonomous systems. In this case, results of bifurcation from semi-trivial solutions are obtained by the implicit function theorem. Next, the existence of positive solutions of problem (0.1) is obtained by variational methods.

Key words: Elliptic system in RN,  positive solution, bifurcation, variational method
