Title: Existence of solutions for non-uniformly nonlinear elliptic systems Authors: Ghasem Alizadeh Afrouzi (Univ. of Mazandaran, Babolsar, Iran) Somayeh Mahdavi (Univ. of Mazandaran, Babolsar, Iran) Nikolaos B. Zographopoulos (Univ. of Military Education, Athens, Greece) Abstract: Using a variational approach, we prove the existence of solutions for the degenerate quasilinear elliptic system $$\displaylines{ -\hbox{div}(\nu_1 (x)|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) =\lambda F_u(x,u,v)+\mu G_u(x,u,v),\cr -\hbox{div}(\nu_2 (x)|\nabla v|^{q-2} \nabla v) =\lambda F_v(x,u,v)+\mu G_v(x,u,v), }$$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
