Abstract
Let Ω ∋ 0 be an open bounded domain in R N (N ≥ 3) and \(2*(s) = \frac{{2(N - s)}} {{N - 2}}\), 0 < s < 2. We consider the following elliptic system of two equations in H 10 (Ω) × H 10 (Ω):
where λ, µ > 0 and α, β > 1 satisfy α + β = 2*(s). Using the Moser iteration, we prove the asymptotic behavior of solutions at the origin. In addition, by exploiting the Mountain-Pass theorem, we establish the existence of solutions.
