Remarks on a class of quasilinear elliptic systems involving the (p,q)-Laplacian

Abstract

We study the Nehari manifold for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems involving a pair of (p,q)-Laplacian operators and a parameter. We prove the existence of a nonnegative nonsemitrivial solution for the systems by discussing properties of the Nehari manifold, and so global bifurcation results are obtained. Thanks to Picone's identity, we also prove a nonexistence result.
