Title: Critical Neumann problem for nonlinear elliptic systems in exterior domains Authors: Shengbing Deng (Jiangxi Normal Univ., China) Jianfu Yang (Jiangxi Normal Univ., China) Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the Neumann problem for a critical elliptic system in exterior domains. Assuming that the coefficient $Q(x)$ is a positive smooth function and $\lambda$, $\mu\geq0$ are parameters, we examine the common effect of the mean curvature of the boundary $\partial \Omega $ and the shape of the graph of the coefficient $Q(x)$ on the existence of the least energy solutions.
