EXISTENCE OF A POSITIVE SOLUTION FOR THE SYSTEM OF THE NONLINEAR BIHARMONIC EQUATIONS

We prove the existence of a positive solution for the system of the following nonlinear biharmonic equations with Dirichlet boundary condition $$\{{\Delta}^2u+c{\Delta}u+av^+=s_1{\phi}_1+{\epsilon}_1h_1(x)\;in\;{\Omega},\\{\Delta}^2v+c{\Delta}v+bu^+=s_2{\phi}_1+{\epsilon}_2h_2(x)\;in\;{\Omega},$$ where $u^+= max\{u,0\}$, $c{\in}R$, $s{\in}R$, ${\Delta}^2$ denotes the biharmonic operator and ${\phi}_1$ is the positive eigenfunction of the eigenvalue problem $-{\Delta}$ with Dirichlet boundary condition. Here ${\epsilon}_1$, ${\epsilon}_2$ are small numbers and $h_1(x)$, $h_2(x)$ are bounded.
