Abstract

This paper shows the existence of positive solutions for a class of p-Laplacian systems with critical homogeneous nonlinearity. We prove that the equation has at least one positive solution by applying variational and topological methods. Moreover, we establish a version of the global compactness result in unbounded domain.
