Keywords:
elliptic system; Leray-Schauder degree; maximum principle
Summary:
In this paper we consider the existence of nonzero solutions of an undecoupling elliptic system with zero Dirichlet condition. We use Leray-Schauder Degree Theory and arguments of Measure Theory. We will show the existence of positive solutions and we give applications to biharmonic equations and the scalar case.
