SYMMETRY OF COMPONENTS FOR RADIAL SOLUTIONS OF γ-LAPLACIAN SYSTEMS

In this paper, we give several sufficient conditions ensuring that any positive radial solution (u, v) of the following ${\gamma}$-Laplacian systems in the whole space ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ has the components symmetry property $u{\equiv}v$ $$\{\array{-div({\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}^{{\gamma}-2}{\nabla}u)=f(u,v)\text{ in }{\mathbb{R}}^n,\\-div({\mid}{\nabla}v{\mid}^{{\gamma}-2}{\nabla}v)=g(u,v)\text{ in }{\mathbb{R}}^n.}$$ Here n > ${\gamma}$, ${\gamma}$ > 1. Thus, the systems will be reduced to a single ${\gamma}$-Laplacian equation: $$-div({\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}^{{\gamma}-2}{\nabla}u)=f(u)\text{ in }{\mathbb{R}}^n$$. Our proofs are based on suitable comparation principle arguments, combined with properties of radial solutions.
