Abstract:
We study existence and multiplicity of solutions of the elliptic system
where , is a smooth bounded domain and . We assume that the nonlinear term where , , and . So some supercritical systems are included. Nontrivial solutions are obtained. When is even in , we show that the system possesses a sequence of solutions associated with a sequence of positive energies (resp. negative energies) going toward infinity (resp. zero) if (resp. ). All results are proved using variational methods. Some new critical point theorems for strongly indefinite functionals are proved.
