Estadual da Paraiba, Brazil) Aldo T. Louredo (Univ. Estadual da Paraiba, Brazil) Alexandro O. Marinho (Univ. Federal da Paraiba, Brazil) Abstract: In this paper the authors study the existence of local weak solutions of the strongly nonlinear system $$\displaylines{ u''+\mathcal{A}u +f(u,v)u = h_1 \cr v''+\mathcal{A}v +g(u,v)v = h_2 }$$ where $\mathcal{A}$ is the pseudo-Laplacian operator and $f$, $g$, $h_1 $ and $h_2 $ are given functions.
