On the Existence and Stability of Positive Solutions for Some Pairs of Differential Equations

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence and stability of the positive solutions of a semilinear elliptic system - Δu(x) = a(x)v^6(x) + e(x) - Δv(x) = b(x}u^μ(x) + m(x) \qquad in Ω u = v = 0 \qquad\qquad on ∂Ω where Ω ⊂ R^N is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω. It is shown that under the suitable conditions on \delta, μ, there exist a stable and an unstable positive solutions for this system if e and m are sufficiently small in L^∞.
