Abstract

This paper is concerned with a singular elliptic system, which involves the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality and multiple critical exponents. By analytic technics and variational methods, the extremals of the corresponding bet Hardy-Sobolev constant are found, the existence of positive solutions to the system is established and the asymptotic properties of solutions at the singular point are proved.
