A p-Laplacian system with Dirichlet boundary conditions is investigated. By analysis of the relationship between the Nehari manifold and fibering maps, we will show how the Nehari manifold changes as λ,μ varies and try to establish the existence of multiple positive solutions. c © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper is devoted to study the multiplicity of nontrivial nonnegative or positive solutions to the following systems    −4pu = λa1(x)|u|q−2u + b(x)Fu(u, v), in Ω, −4pv = λa2(x)|v|q−2v + b(x)Fv(u, v), in Ω, u = v = 0, on ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ R is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω; 1 < q < p < N , p∗ = Np N−p ; 4pw = div(|∇w|p−2∇w) denotes the p-Laplacian operator; λ > 0 is a positive pa...

and Applied Analysis 3 In order to describe our main result, we need to define Λ0 ( 2 − q ( p − q‖a‖L∞ ) 2−q / p−2 ( p − 2 ( p − q)‖b ‖Lq∗ ) S p 2−q /2 p−2 q/2 p > 0, 1.3 where ‖a‖L∞ supx∈RNa x , ‖b ‖Lq∗ ∫ RN |b x |qdx 1/q∗ and Sp is the best Sobolev constant for the imbedding of H1 R into L R . Theorem 1.1. Assume that a1 , b1 b2 hold. If λ ∈ 0, q/2 Λ0 , Ea,λb admits at least two positive solu...
