García-Huidobro, Marta; Guerra, Ignacio; Manásevich, Raúl Existence of positive radial solutions for a weakly coupled systems via blow up. (English) Zbl 0965.35058 Abstr. Appl. Anal. 3, No. 1-2, 105-131 (1998). The authors prove existence of positive radial solutions of the quasilinear system \[ \text{div} (a_i(|\nabla u_i|)\nabla u_i)+f_i(u_{i+1})=0 \text{ in }\Omega, \quad u_i=0\text{ on }\partial\Omega, \] where \(\Omega=\{x\in\mathbb R^N : |x|<R\}\), \(i=1,2,\dots,n\), \(u_{n+1}=u_1\). Denote \(\phi_i(s)=sa_i(s)\). The functions \(\phi_i,f_i\) are supposed to be continuous, asymptotically homogeneous at zero and at infinity (with suitable powers satisfying several inequalities), \(f_i(0)=0\), \(f_i(s)>0\) for \(s>0\), \(\phi_i:\mathbb R^+\to\mathbb R^+\) are increasing, \(\phi_i(s)\to\infty\) as \(s\to\infty\). The proof is based on the use of the Leray-Schauder degree and on a modification of a priori estimates of B. Gidas and J. Spruck [Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 6, 883-901 (1981; Zbl 0462.35041)].
