Title: Existence of solutions for a class of elliptic systems in $R^N$ involving the p-Laplacian Authors: Ali Djellit (Univ. of Annaba, Algeria) Saadia Tas (Univ. of Annaba, Algeria) Abstract: Using a variational approach, we study a class of nonlinear elliptic systems derived from a potential and involving the $p$-Laplacian. Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearities, we show the existence of nontrivial solutions. Submitted March 24, 2003. Published May 8, 2003. Math Subject Classifications: 35P65, 35P30.
