Title: Multiple solutions for a elliptic system in exterior domain Authors: Huijuan Gu (Jiangxi Normal Univ., China) Jianfu Yang (Jiangxi Normal Univ., China) Xiaohui Yu (Central Univ. of Finance and Econ., Beijing, China) Abstract: In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for the nonlinear elliptic system $$\displaylines{ -\Delta u+u=|u|^{p-1}u+\lambda v \quad \hbox{in } \Omega, \cr -\Delta v+v=|v|^{p-1}v+\lambda u \quad \hbox{in } \Omega, \cr u=v=0 \quad \hbox{on } \partial\Omega, }$$ where $\Omega$ is a exterior domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 3$. We show that the system possesses at least one nontrivial positive solution. Submitted June 28, 2008. Published August 28, 2008. Math Subject Classifications: 35J50, 35B32.
