Abstract

This paper deals with the existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear system (q(t)φ(p(t)u′1(t)))′ + fi(t, u) = 0, 0 < t < 1, i = 1, 2, . . . ,n. This system often arises in the study of positive radial solutions of nonlinear elliptic system. Here u = (u 1, . . .,un) and fi, i = 1, 2, . . ., n are continuous and nonnegative functions, p(t), q(t): [0, 1) → (0, ∞) are continuous functions. Moreover, we characterize the eigenvalue intervals for (q(t)φ(p(t)u′i(t)))′ + λhi(t)g i(u) = 0, 0 < t < 1, i = 1, 2,. . . ,n. The proof is based on a well-known fixed point theorem in cones.
