ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS INVOLVING COMPETING INTERACTIONS WITH NONLINEAR DIFFUSIONS II

  • Published : 1997.10.01

Abstract

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions of certain elliptic systems involving competing iteractions with nonlinear diffusion rates. The existence of positive solution depends on the sign of the first eigenvalue of operators of Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger type. More precisely, if the sign of such operators are either both positive or both negative, then system has a positive solution. The main tool employed is the fixed point index of compact operator on positive cones.
