Abstract

We deal with the existence of positive radial solutions concentrating on spheres for the following class of elliptic system $$\large(S) \hfill{400} \{\array{-{\varepsilon}^2{\Delta}u+V_1(x)u=K(x)Q_u(u,v)\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,\\-{\varepsilon}^2{\Delta}v+V_2(x)v=K(x)Q_v(u,v)\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,\\u,v{\in}W^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N),\;u,v&gt;0\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,}$$ where ${\varepsilon}$ is a small positive parameter; $V_1$, $V_2{\in}C^0(\mathbb{R}^N,[0,{\infty}))$ and $K{\in}C^0(\mathbb{R}^N,[0,{\infty}))$ are radially symmetric potentials; Q is a $(p+1)$-homogeneous function and p is subcritical, that is, 1 < $p$ < $2^*-1$, where $2^*=2N/(N-2)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent for $N{\geq}3$.
