Abstract
In this article, we are concerned with the existence of positive radial solutions of the problem (S+):
pu= f(x,u,v) in Ω,
qv= g(x,u,v) in Ω,
u = v = 0 on \partialΩ,
where Ω is a ball in RN and f, g are positive functions satisfying f(x,0,0)=g(x,0,0)=0. Under some growth conditions, we show the existence of a positive radial solution of the problem S+. We use traditional techniques of the topological degree theory. When Ω=RN, we give some sufficient conditions of nonexistence.
