Abstract

In this paper, we get the existence results of the nontrivial weak solution (λ,u)(\lambda, u) of the following eigenvalue problem of quasilinear elliptic systems

Dα(aαβ(x,u)Dβui)+12Duiaαβ(x,u)DαujDβuj+h(x)ui=λup2ui,–D_\alpha (a_{\alpha \beta}(x, u)D_\beta u^i) + \frac{1}{2}D_{u^i}a_{\alpha \beta}(x, u)D_\alpha u^jD_\beta u^j + h(x)u^i = \lambda |u|^{p–2}u^i,

for xRnx \in \mathbb R^n, 1iN1 ≤ i ≤ N and

u=(u1,u2,...,uN)E={ν=(ν1,ν2,...,νN)νiH1(Rn),1iN},u = (u^1, u^2, ..., u^N) \in E = \{ \nu = (\nu^1, \nu^2, ..., \nu^N) | \nu^i \in H^1 (\mathbb R^n), 1 ≤ i ≤ N \},

where aαβ(x,u)a_{\alpha \beta} (x, u) satisfy the natural growth conditions. It seems that this kind of problem has never been dealt with before.
