Abstract
We prove existence results for the quasilinear elliptic system
-∆pu = λα(x)|u|γ-2u + λb(x)|u|α-1|v|β+1u,
-∆qv = λd(x)|v|δ-2v + λb(x)|u|α+1|v|β-1v,
where γ and δ may reach the critical Sobolev exponents, and the coefficient functions α, b, and d may change sign.
For the unperturbed system (α = 0, b = 0), we establish the existence and simplicity of a positive principal eigenvalue, under the assumption that u(x) > 0, v(x) > 0, and lim|x|→∞ u(x) = 0.
