Existence of bounded positive solutions of a nonlinear differential system

Sabrine Gontara

Abstract:
In this article, we study the existence and nonexistence of solutions for the system
$$\displaylines{ \frac{1}{A}(Au')'=pu^{\alpha }v^{s}\quad \hbox{on }(0,\infty ), \cr \frac{1}{B}(Bu')'=qu^{r}v^{\beta }\quad \hbox{on }(0,\infty ), \cr Au'(0)=0,\quad u(\infty )=a>0, \cr Bv'(0)=0,\quad v(\infty )=b>0, }$$
where $\alpha ,\beta \geq 1$, $s,r\geq 0$, p,q are two nonnegative functions on $(0,\infty )$ and A, B satisfy appropriate conditions. Using potential theory tools, we show the existence of a positive continuous solution. This allows us to prove the existence of entire positive radial solutions for some elliptic systems.
