In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for degenerate elliptic systems. We use the sub-super solution method, and the existence of classical and weak solutions. Some sub-supersolutions are constructed explicitly, when the nonlinearities have critical or supercritical growth. 1. Introduction Let be a smooth bounded domain in R N1 R N2 with boundary, and having {0}. We consider the Dirichlet problem x u + x 2k y u + f(x, y, u, v) = 0 in, x v + x 2k y v + g(x, y, u, v) = 0 in, u = v = 0 on, (1.1) where x = N 1 i=1 2 x 2, y = N 2 i=1 2 y 2, k 0, f and g are real-valued functions defined on R 2, satisfying certain conditions which will be specified in next sections. We assume in this paper that N 1, N 2 1 and N(k) = N 1 +(k +1)N 2 3. Let ν = (ν x, ν y ) be the outward unit normal to. When the degenerating factor is removed (i.e. k = 0), system (1.1) reduces to a problem with the Laplace operator. Such systems have been the subject for many studies. In almost all of them, the systems are in Hamiltonian and potential forms and are considered by using variational methods (see [1, 2] and references there in). The operator G k = x + x 2k y is of a Grushin type which was studied in [8, 12]. In particular, existence results for problem x u + x 2k y u + f(u) = 0 in, u = 0 on, (1.2) are obtained in [11]. Moreover, the authors proved the Sobolev embedding theorem and set the critical exponent to N(k)+2 N(k) 2. In [10], we introduced an existence result for the Hamiltonian system with G k involving nonlinerities that may change signs Mathematics Subject Classification. 34B27, 35J60, 35B05.

2 2 N. M. CHUONG, T. D. KE EJDE-2004/93 In this work, we use sub-super solutions method to get both classical and weak solutions, even when the nonlinearities have critical or supercritical growth. In the next section, we extend the nonexistence results in [4] to our system when it has the Hamiltonian form. The study is based on our generalized Pohozaev identity. Section 3 shows the existence of classical solutions for (1.1). Finally, in section 4, we construct the maximal and minimal weak solutions of our problem. 2. Nonexistence results In this section, we prove nonexistence results when the domain has a special shape described in the following definition. Definition. A domain is called k-starshaped with respect to {0, 0} if the inequality holds almost everywhere on. (x, ν x ) + (k + 1)(y, ν y ) 0 We are now in position to build a generalized version of Pohozaev identity. Firstly, note that the Pohozaev identity for potential system with Laplace operator was introduced in [1]. Recall also that, the similar identity for scalar case was obtained in [4]. Precisely, let u(x, y) H 2 () (the usual Sobolev space) be a solution of the problem x u + x 2k y u + f(u) = 0 in, u = 0 on, (2.1) then N(k) = 1 2 F (u) dx dy N(k) 2 f(u)u dx dy 2 ( u ) 2dS, [(x, ν x ) + (k + 1)(y, ν y )]( ν x 2 + x 2k ν y 2 ) ν where F (u) = u f(s)ds. In our paper, Lemma 2.1 makes an extension of this 0 identity for the Hamiltonian system with Grushin operator. Before stating Lemma 2.1, we state the following condition. (S1) There exists a function H(x, y, u, v) C 1 ( R 2 ) satisfying H v = f, H u = g, H(x, y, 0, 0) = 0 for (x, y). For the conditions in (S1), one can take f = f(v), g = g(u). Thus, H(u, v) = F (v) + G(u), where Denote F (v) = v x = (,..., ), x 1 x N1 0 f(s)ds, G(u) = u 0 g(t)dt. y = (,..., ). y 1 y N2 Lemma 2.1 (Generalized Pohozaev identity). Let be a k-starshaped domain with respect to {0, 0} and let (S1) hold. If (u, v) H 2 () H 2 () is a solution of (1.1)
3 EJDE-2004/93 EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS 3 then (u, v) satisfies the equation N(k) H(x, y, u, v) dx dy + [(x, x H) + (k + 1)(y, y H)]dx dy = (N(k) 2) [tf(x, y, u, v)v + (1 t)g(x, y, u, v)u]dx dy + [(x, ν x ) + (k + 1)(y, ν y )]( ν x 2 + x 2k ν y 2 ) u v ν ν ds, for all t R. Proof. For i = 1,..., N 1, we have ( ) x i H(x, y, u, v) dy dy x i = H(x, y, u, v) dx dy + x i (g u + f v + H ) dx dy = 0. x i x i x i This implies H(x, y, u, v) dx dy = x i [g u + f v + H ] dx dy. x i x i x i Hence H(x, y, u, v) dx dy = 1 [(x, x u)g + (x, x v)f + (x, x H)] dx dy. (2.2) N 1 Analogously, for β R, β H(x, y, u, v) dx dy = β [(y, y u)g + (y, y v)f + (y, y H)] dx dy. (2.3) N 2 Equalities (2.2) and (2.3) yield [ (x, x u) (1 + β) H(x, y, u, v) dx dy = + β(y, ] yu) G k v dx dy N 1 N 2 [ (x, x v) + + β(y, ] yv) G k u dx dy N 1 N 2 [ (x, x H) + β(y, ] yh) dx dy. N 2 We make some computations for the following integrals I 1 = 1 [(x, x u) x v + (x, x v) x u] dx dy, N 1 I 2 = β [(y, y u) x v + (y, y v) x u] dx dy, N 2 I 3 = 1 [(x, x u) y v + (x, x v) y u] x 2k dx dy, N 1 I 4 = β [(y, y u) y v + (y, y v) y u] x 2k dx dy. N 2 N 1 (2.4)
4 4 N. M. CHUONG, T. D. KE EJDE-2004/93 We have the generalized Rellich identity (for detail computations, we refer the reader to [4]) I 1 = 1 [(x, x u) x v + (x, x v) x u] dx dy N 1 In the same way and I 3 = 1 N 1 = N 1 2 N 1 I 2 = β N 2 = N 1 + 2k N 1 I 4 = β N 2 = β N 2 2 N 2 x u x v dx dy + 1 N 1 [(y, y u) x v + (y, y v) x u] dx dy = β x u x v dx dy + β N 2 [ ] (x, x u) y v + (x, x v) y u x 2k dx dy x 2k y u y v dx dy + 1 N 1 [ ] (y, y u) y v + (y, y v) y u x 2k dx dy x 2k y u y v dx dy + β N 2 ν x 2 (x, ν x ) u v ν ν ds. ν x 2 (y, ν y ) u v ν ν ds, (x, ν x ) x 2k ν y 2 u v ν ν ds, ν y 2 x 2k (y, ν y ) u v ν ν ds. (2.5) (2.6) (2.7) (2.8) Combining (2.5), (2.6), (2.7) and (2.8), we obtain [ I = ( (x, xu) + β(y, yu) )G k v + ( (x, xv) + β(y, ] yv) )G k u dx dy N 1 N 2 N 1 N 2 = (β + N 1 2 ) x u x v dx dy + ( N 1 + 2k + β N 2 2 ) x 2k y u y v dx dy N 1 N 1 N (x, ν x )( ν x 2 + x 2k ν y 2 ) u v N 1 ν ν ds + β (y, ν y )( ν x 2 + x 2k ν y 2 ) u v N 2 ν ν ds. Choosing β = N2 N 1 (k + 1) and taking (2.4) into account, we have N(k) H(x, y, u, v) dx dy N 1 = N(k) 2 ( ) x u x v + x 2k y u y v dx dy N 1 1 [ ] (x, x H) + (k + 1)(y, y H) dx dy N [(x, ν x ) + (k + 1)(y, ν y )]( ν x 2 + x 2k ν y 2 ) u v N 1 ν ν ds.
5 EJDE-2004/93 EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS 5 Noting that ( ) x u x v + x 2k y u y v dx dy = = the conclusion of Lemma 2.1 follows for all t R. vf(x, y, u, v) dx dy ug(x, y, u, v) dx dy, The next theorem follows from Lemma 2.1. Theorem 2.2. Let be a k-starshaped domain with respect to {0, 0} and let (S1) hold. If there exists t R such that 1 N(k) 2 [N(k)H(x, y, u, v) + (x, xh) + (k + 1)(y, y H)] < tug(x, y, u, v) + (1 t)vf(x, y, u, v), for all (x, y) and (u, v) R 2, then system (1.1) has no positive solution in H 2 () H 2 (). In the following theorem, we get a result similar to [9, Theorem 3.1]. Theorem 2.3. Let be a k-starshaped domain with respect to {0, 0}. If the problem x u x 2k y u = v p 1 v, in, x v x 2k y v = u q 1 u, in, u = v on, has a nontrivial solution in H 2 () H 2 () for p, q 1 then 1 p q + 1 N(k) 2. N(k) Proof. Since is a k-starshaped domain, the following inequality results from Lemma 2.1, N(k) ( 1 N(k) 2 p + 1 v p [ q + 1 u q+1) dx dy t v p+1 + (1 t) u q+1] dx dy, for all t R. Then, we have the statement of Theorem 2.3 from the fact that v p+1 dx dy = u q+1 dx dy = ( x u x v + x 2k y u y v) dx dy. 3. Existence of classical solutions Unlike the Laplace operator, the Grushin operator G k is not positively definite (in the domain with origin) and not radially symmetric. However, it s easy to check that, the weak maximum principle can still be applied. Proposition 3.1 (Weak maximum principle). Suppose that is bounded. If u C 2 () C( ) and G k u 0 in, then the maximum of u is attained at the boundary.
6 6 N. M. CHUONG, T. D. KE EJDE-2004/93 Proof. Let u C 2 () C( ). First we prove for the case G k u > 0 in and in the next step we proceed for the case G k u 0 in. Assume G k u > 0 in and u has a maximum at (x 0, y 0 ). Then Hence G k u(x 0, y 0 ) = This contradiction implies 2 u x 2 (x 0, y 0 ) 0, i for i = 1,..., N 1, 2 u yj 2 (x 0, y 0 ) 0, for j = 1,..., N 2. N 1 i=1 2 u x 2 i N 2 (x 0, y 0 ) + x 2k sup u sup u. j=1 2 u yj 2 (x 0, y 0 ) 0. Now we prove for the case G k u 0 in. Suppose that { x 1 < d}. Put w(x, y) = u(x, y) + εe αx1, where ε > 0 and α > 0. We have G k w = G k u + εα 2 e αx1 > 0 in. From the arguments in first step and the construction of w, we deduce sup The result follows for ε 0. u sup w sup As a consequence, we have the following result. Corollary 3.2. If u C 2 () C( ) satisfies then u 0 for x. G k u 0 in, u 0 w sup u + εe αd. on, Now if u 1, u 2 C 2 () C( ) are solutions for G k u = f in, u = 0 on, (3.1) (3.2) where f C( ), then u 1 u 2 and u 2 u 1 satisfy (3.1). In other words, u 1 = u 2 in. The conclusion is that (3.2) has at most one solution in C 2 () C( ). Proposition 3.3. If u C 2 () C( ) is a solution of (3.2) for f C( ), then there exists a positive constant C such that for all (x, y), Proof. Denote l = sup x, u(x, y) C sup f. M = sup f, v(x, y) = l2 x 2. 2N 1 Then G k v = 1 and v 0 in. Put v 1 (x, y) = u(x, y) Mv(x, y) and v 2 (x, y) = u(x, y) + Mv(x, y). By the fact that G k v 1 = f + M 0 in and using weak maximum principle, we have v 1 (x, y) sup v 1 in,
7 EJDE-2004/93 EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS 7 or u(x, y) Mv(x, y) sup(u Mv) sup u = 0, for all (x, y). It follows u(x, y) Mv(x, y) sup f in. 2N 1 Arguing similarly for v 2 with G k v 2 0 in, we get l2 l2 u(x, y) min u Mv(x, y) sup f in. 2N 1 The proof is complete with C = l 2 /2N 1. Before constructing the inverse operator of G k, we state some conditions on the linear problem (3.2). (S2) Any solution u of (3.2) with f C( ) belongs to C 2 () C( ). Remark. In the case k = 0 and is C 2, hypothesis (S2) is satisfied obviously. The explicit conditions ensured the truth of (S2) for the case k > 0 are still open. It s expected to return this problem in the other works. Given hypothesis (S2) and the uniqueness of problem (3.2), we can define the inverse operator G 1 k : C( ) C( ), f u. Furthermore, Proposition 3.3 ensures that G 1 k is compact. (S3) The functions f(x, y, s, t), g(x, y, s, t) in C( R R) are nondecreasing in s and t for all (x, y), i.e. the maps s f(x, y, s, t), s g(x, y, s, t) for fixed t R and t f(x, y, s, t), t g(x, y, s, t) for fixed s R are nondecreasing for all (x, y). Definition. A pair (ū, v) C 2 () C( ) is said to be a supersolution to (1.1) if G k ū f(x, y, ū, v) in, G k v g(x, y, ū, v) in, ū 0, v 0 on. Similarly, (u, v) C 2 () C( ) is called subsolution to (1.1) if G k u f(x, y, u, v) in, G k v g(x, y, u, v) in, u 0, v 0 on. The following theorem is the main result for current section. (3.3) (3.4) Theorem 3.4. Assume that hypotheses (S2) and (S3) hold. If (1.1) has a subsolution (u, v) and a supersolution (ū, v) such that (u, v) (ū, v), then there exists at least one solution (u, v) of (1.1) satisfying (u, v) (u, v) (ū, v). Proof. We use similar arguments as in [6]. Let f (x, y, u, v) and g (x, y, u, v) be the functions which are defined from f(x, y, u, v), g(x, y, u, v) as follows (i) If u < u then replace u by u, if u > ū then replace u by ū. (ii) If v < v then replace v by v, if v > v then replace v by v.
8 8 N. M. CHUONG, T. D. KE EJDE-2004/93 Then f, g are continuous functions. Consider the problem G k u = f (x, y, u, v) in, G k v = g (x, y, u, v) in, u = v = 0 on. (3.5) The definition of f (x, y, u, v) and g (x, y, u, v) implies that, if (u, v) is a solution of (3.5) satisfying (u, v) (u, v) (ū, v), (3.6) then (u, v) is a solution for (1.1). Let us define the operator T (u, v) = ( G 1 k 0 0 G 1 k on the convex bounded subset of [C()] 2 ) ( ) f (x, y, u, v) g (x, y, u, v) D = {(u, v) : (u, v) (u, v) (ū, v)}. Since f and g are continuous and bounded, G 1 k is compact, hence T is compact. Note now that system (3.5) is equivalent to (u, v) = T (u, v). To apply Shauder fixed point theorem [9, page 60], we have only to prove that T (D) D. Indeed, let (u, v) be a solution to (3.5), we show that (u, v) satisfies (3.6). It suffices to prove that, the following sets 1 = {(x, y) : u(x, y) > ū(x, y)}, 2 = {(x, y) : v(x, y) > v(x, y)}, 3 = {(x, y) : u(x, y) < u(x, y)}, 4 = {(x, y) : v(x, y) < v(x, y)} are empty. We proceed with 1, the proofs for the other set are performed analogously. Assume to the contrary that 1 is not empty. The continuity of u and ū ensures that 1 is open set in, then 1 1 =. The first inequality in (3.3) and the first equation in (3.5) gives G k (u ū) f (x, y, u, v) f(x, y, ū, v). (3.7) For pointing out the sign of the left hand side in (3.7), we define the following subsets of = {(x, y) 1 : v(x, y) > v(x, y)}, 1 = {(x, y) 1 : v(x, y) < v(x, y)}, 0 1 = {(x, y) 1 : v(x, y) v(x, y) v(x, y)}. It s easy to see that 1 = and each subset is separated from others. By the definition of f and monotoncity of f, we have f (x, y, u, v) f(x, y, ū, v) = f(x, y, ū, v) f(x, y, ū, v) = 0 in + 1, f (x, y, u, v) f(x, y, ū, v) = f(x, y, ū, v) f(x, y, ū, v) 0 in 1, f (x, y, u, v) f(x, y, ū, v) = f(x, y, ū, v) f(x, y, ū, v) 0 in 0 1. Taking (3.7) into account, we conclude that G k (u ū) 0. Proposition 3.1 concludes that, the maximum of u ū is attained at (x 1, y 1 ) 1. Therefore, (u ū)(x 1, y 1 ) > 0. The contradiction occurs since (x 1, y 1 ) 1 1.
9 EJDE-2004/93 EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS 9 The critical cases. We construct a class of subsolutions and supersolutions of (1.1) in the case when nonlinearities have critical growth x u + x 2k [ y u + v N(k)+2 N(k) 2 + h1 (x, y)] = 0 in, x v + x 2k [ y v + u N(k)+2 N(k) 2 + h2 (x, y)] = 0 in, u = v = 0 on, (3.8) where h 1, h 2 C( ). Denote ρ = ( x 2k+2 + (k + 1) 2 y 2 ) 1 2k+2. We find a class of supersolutions (u, v ) to (3.8) of the form u = v = Cλ N(k) 2 2 (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) N(k) 2 2, (3.9) where C > 0, λ > 0. Note that, if u = u(ρ) then [ x u + x 2k 2 u y u = It suffices to find C such that Put ρ 2 + N(k) 1 ρ u ] x 2k ρ ρ 2k. 2 u ρ 2 + N(k) 1 u ρ ρ + ρ2k ( v N(k)+2 N(k) 2 + h1 (x, y)) 0 in, 2 v ρ 2 + N(k) 1 v ρ ρ + ρ2k ( u N(k)+2 N(k) 2 + h2 (x, y)) 0 in, u 0, v 0 on. [ 2 u Au = ρ 2 + N(k) 1 ρ u ] ρ + ρ2k u N(k)+2 N(k) 2. From (3.9) and with some computations (Using Maple software), we have Choosing Au = Cλ N(k)+2 2 (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) N(k)+2 2 [C 4 N(k) 2 ρ 2k N(k)(N(k) 2)]. C < [N(k)(N(k) 2)] N(k) 2 4 (max ρ 2k ) N(k) 2 4, we have Au > 0 in. Obviously, (u, v ) is a supersolution and (0, 0) is a subsolution to (3.8) if 0 < h 1 (x, y), h 2 (x, y) (max ρ) 2k Au in (in this case, (0, 0) can not be solution of (3.8)). As a consequence of Theorem 3.4, there exists a positive solution (u, v) for (3.8) such that 0 < u, v u for all (x, y). The supercritical cases. Consider the problem x u + x 2k [ y u + α v p + h 1 (x, y)] = 0 in, x v + x 2k [ y v + β u q + h 2 (x, y)] = 0 in, u = v = 0 on, (3.10)
10 10 N. M. CHUONG, T. D. KE EJDE-2004/93 where p, q > N(k)+2 N(k) 2 ; α, β > 0; h 1, h 2 C( ). One finds a class of supersolutions (u #, v # ) to (3.10) of the form u # = C 1 λ a (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) a, v # = C 2 λ b (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) b, where C 1 > 0, C 2 > 0; λ > 0; a, b > 0. For γ > 0 and s > 1, let B s,γ (u, v) = 2 u ρ 2 + N(k) 1 u ρ ρ + γρ2k v s. After some calculations (using Maple software) we get Similarly, B p,α (u #, v # ) = 2C 1 aλ 2+a (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) 2 a [λ 2 ρ 2 (N(k) 2a 2) + N(k)] + αρ 2k C p 2 λbp (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) bp. B q,β (v #, u # ) = 2C 2 bλ 2+b (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) 2 b [λ 2 ρ 2 (N(k) 2b 2) + N(k)] + βρ 2k C q 1 λaq (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) aq. We choose a, b such that qa = 2 + b and pb = 2 + a. Clearly a = 2p + 2 pq 1, b = 2q + 2 pq 1. Therefore, B p,α (u #, v # ) = λ 2+a (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) 2 a {αρ 2k C p 2 2aC 1[λ 2 ρ 2 (N(k) 2a 2) + N(k)]}, B q,β (v #, u # ) = λ 2+b (1 + λ 2 ρ 2 ) 2 b {βρ 2k C q 1 2bC 2[λ 2 ρ 2 (N(k) 2b 2) + N(k)]}. Under the above mentioned conditions for p and q, we have N(k) 2a 2 > 0, N(k) 2b 2 > 0. For the positivity of B p,α (u #, v # ) and B q,β (v #, u # ), the following conditions are sufficient: That implies α max ρ 2k C p 2 < 2aN(k)C 1, β max ρ 2k C q 1 < 2bN(k)C 2. [ 2bN(k) ] p C 1 < β max ρ 2k [ 2bN(k) ] 1 C 2 < β max ρ 2k pq 1 [ pq 1 [ 2aN(k) ] 1 α max ρ 2k pq 1 2aN(k) α max ρ 2k ] q Now, (u #, v # ) becomes a supersolution and (0, 0) becomes a subsolution to (3.10) if pq 1 0 < h 1 (x, y) B p,α (u #, v # )(max ρ) 2k, 0 < h 2 (x, y) B q,β (v #, u # )(max ρ) 2k.,.
11 EJDE-2004/93 EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS 11 Applying Theorem 3.4, we see that there exists at least one solution (u, v) for (3.10) satisfying 0 < u u #, 0 < v v #. 4. Maximal and minimal weak solutions Definition. By S p 1 (), 1 < p < +, we denote the set of all pairs (u, v) L p () L p () such that u x i, v x i, for i = 1,..., N 1, and j = 1,..., N 2. For the norm in S p 1, we take x k u y j, x k v y j L p () (u, v) S p 1 [ () = ( u p + x u p + x pk y u p + v p + x v p + x pk y v p ) dx dy For p = 2, the inner product in S 2 1 is defined by (u, v), (ϕ, ψ) = (uϕ + x u x ϕ + x 2k y u y ϕ + vψ + x v x ψ + x 2k y v y ψ) dx dy. The space S p 1,0 () is defined as closure of C1 0() C0() 1 in the space S p 1 (). Trivially, one can prove that S p 1 () and Sp 1,0 () are Banach spaces, S2 1() and S1,0() 2 are Hilbert spaces. The following Sobolev embedding inequality was proved in [11]. ( ) 1/q [ 1/2, u q dx dy C ( x u 2 + x 2s y u 2 ) dx dy] where q = 2N(s) N(s) 2 τ, C > 0 and s 0, provided small positive number τ. So, one can take the norm for S1,0() 2 as follows [ ] (u, v) 2 S1,0 2 () = x u 2 + x v 2 + x 2k ( y u 2 + y v 2 ) dx dy. The definition of the weak solution for system (1.1) is stated as follows: Definition. A pair of functions (u, v) S1,0() 2 is called weak solution for system (1.1) if [ x u x ϕ + x 2k y u y ϕ] dx dy = f(x, y, u, v)ϕ dx dy, [ x v x ψ + x 2k y v y ψ] dx dy = g(x, y, u, v)ψ dx dy for all ϕ, ψ C 1 0(). The following definition describes the comparison on boundary of two functions in S 2 1(). Definition Let (u, v) S 2 1(). A function v is said to be less than or equal a function u on if (max{0, v u}, 0) S 2 1,0(). ] 1/p
12 12 N. M. CHUONG, T. D. KE EJDE-2004/93 The proof of the following assertion is standard and therefore omitted. Proposition 4.1. Consider the pair of functions (u 1, u 2 ) S1() (L 2 ()) 2 such that, for all ϕ satisfying ϕ C0(), 1 ϕ 0 in, [ x u 1 x ϕ + x 2k y u 1 y ϕ] dx dy [ x u 2 x ϕ + x 2k y u 2 y ϕ] dx dy, Then u 1 u 2 a.e in. u 1 u 2 on. Proposition 4.2. For every h 1, h 2 L 2 (), the problem G k u = h 1 (x, y), (x, y), G k v = h 2 (x, y), (x, y), u = v = 0, (x, y), (4.1) admits a unique weak solution (u, v) S 2 1,0(). Moreover, the associated operator W : (h 1, h 2 ) (u, v) is continuous and nondecreasing. Proof. The problem (4.1) is written in the form of system in order to construct operator W. The proof of existence and uniqueness can be proceeded using the Riesz representation theorem in Hilbert space S 2 1,0() (as in [5, page 150]). The continuous property of W follows from the estimate (u, v) S 2 1,0 () C (h 1, h 2 ) (L2 ()) 2 = C [ ( h 1 (x, y) 2 + h 2 (x, y) 2 ) dx dy] 1/2, where C is a positive constant. Assume that (h 1, h 2 ), (l 1, l 2 ) (L 2 ()) 2 and (u h, v h ), (u l, v l ) S1,0() 2 are solutions of (4.1) respectively, then we have [ ] [ ] (l 1 h 1 )ϕ dx dy = x (u l u h ) x ϕ + x 2k y (u l u h ) y ϕ dx dy, [ ] [ ] (l 2 h 2 )ψ dx dy = x (v l v h ) x ψ + x 2k y (v l v h ) y ψ dx dy, for all ϕ, ψ C0() 1 satisfying ϕ, ψ 0 in. Applying Proposition 4.1, we obtain the nondecreasing property of W. Before stating the results for this section, we replace hypothesis (S3) by (S3 ) f(x, y, s, t), g(x, y, s, t) are Caratheodory functions: f(x, y,.,.), g(x, y,.,.) are continuous for a.e. (x, y), f(.,., s, t), g(.,., s, t) are measurable for all (s, t) R 2 and f(.,., s, t), g(.,., s, t) are bounded if (s, t) belong to bounded sets. In addition, f(x, y,., t), g(x, y,., t) for fixed t R and f(x, y, s,.), g(x, y, s,.) for fixed s R are nondecreasing for a.e. (x, y). Now let us define the subsolutions and supersolutions for (1.1) in the weak sense. The comparison on is realized by the definition above. Definition. Let (u, v), (u, v) S 2 1() (L ()) 2. These pairs of functions are said to be a system of subsolution and supersolution in the weak sense for (1.1) if they satisfy: (a) u(x, y) u(x, y), u(x, y) u(x, y) a.e. u(x, y) 0 u(x, y) on, in, u(x, y) 0 u(x, y),
13 EJDE-2004/93 EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS 13 (b) For all ϕ C0() 1 : ϕ 0 in, [ x u x ϕ + x 2k y u ϕ] dx dy [ x u x ϕ + x 2k y u ϕ] dx dy f(x, y, u, v)ϕ dx dy, f(x, y, u, v)ϕ dx dy, and [ x v x ϕ + x 2k y v ϕ] dx dy g(x, y, u, v)ϕ dx dy, [ x v x ϕ + x 2k y v ϕ] dx dy g(x, y, u, v)ϕ dx dy. The following theorem is the main result of this section. Theorem 4.3. Assume (S3 ) and let (u, v), (u, v) be a system of subsolution and supersolution of (1.1). Then, there exists a minimal (and, respectively, a maximal) weak solution (u, v ) (respectively (u, v )) for problem (1.1) in the set [(u, v), (u, v)] = { (u, v) (L ()) 2 : u(x, y) u(x, y) u(x, y), v(x, y) v(x, y) v(x, y), a.e. in }. Precisely, every weak solution (u, v) [(u, v), (u, v)] of (1.1) satisfies u (x, y) u(x, y) u (x, y), v (x, y) v(x, y) v (x, y) for a.e. (x, y). Proof. Note that the set [(u, v), (u, v)] is a subset of (L ()) 2 with the topology of a.e. convergence. We define the operator Z : [(u, v), (u, v)] (L 2 ()) 2 by ( ) Z(ũ, ṽ) = f(.,., ũ(.,.), ṽ(.,.)), g(.,., ũ(.,.), ṽ(.,.)). (4.2) By hypothesis (S3 ), we get that Z is nondecreasing and bounded. Moreover, if (ũ n, ṽ n ), (ũ, ṽ) is in [(u, v), (u, v)] then Z(ũ n, ṽ n ) Z(ũ, ṽ) 2 (L 2 ()) = f(x, y, ũ 2 n, ṽ n ) f(x, y, ũ, ṽ) 2 dx dy + g(x, y, ũ n, ṽ n ) g(x, y, ũ, ṽ) 2 dx dy. Let (ũ n, ṽ n ) (ũ, ṽ) a.e in. Applying the Lebesgue dominated theorem, we obtain that Z(ũ n, ṽ n ) Z(ũ, ṽ) (L 2 ()) 2 0 and Z is continuous. The constructions of the operator W in Proposition 4.2 and operator Z in (4.2) allow us to define the operator T : [(u, v), (u, v)] S1,0() 2 by T = W Z. It s easy to see that, for a pair (ũ, ṽ) in [(u, v), (u, v)], T (ũ, ṽ) is the unique weak solution of the boundary-value problem G k u = f(x, y, ũ, ṽ), (x, y), G k v = g(x, y, ũ, ṽ), (x, y), u = v = 0, (x, y). (4.3)
14 14 N. M. CHUONG, T. D. KE EJDE-2004/93 Putting (u 1, v 1 ) = T (u, v), (u 1, v 1 ) = T (u, v), we deduce that, for all ϕ satisfying ϕ C0(), 1 ϕ 0 in, [ x u 1 x ϕ + x 2k y u 1 y ϕ] dx dy = f(x, y, u, v)ϕ dx dy [ x u x ϕ + x 2k y u y ϕ] dx dy, [ x v 1 x ϕ + x 2k y v 1 y ϕ] dx dy = g(x, y, u, v)ϕ dx dy [ x v x ϕ + x 2k y v y ϕ] dx dy. By applying Proposition 4.1, we obtain u u 1, v v 1, or briefly, (u, v) T (u, v). By the same arguments, we get that T (u, v) (u, v). Taking into account that T is nondecreasing, we have for all (u, v) [(u, v), (u, v)]. (u n, v n ) as follows (u, v) T (u, v) T (u, v) T (u, v) (u, v), It s now to construct two sequences (u n, v n ) and (u 0, v 0 ) = (u, v), (u n+1, v n+1 ) = T (u n, v n ), (u 0, v 0 ) = (u, v), (u n+1, v n+1 ) = T (u n, v n ). Repeating the same process, we can prove that (u 0, v 0 ) (u 1, v 1 ) (u n, v n ) (u, v) (u n, v n ) (u 1, v 1 ) (u 0, v 0 ) a.e. in, for every weak solution (u, v) [(u, v), (u, v)]. Then (u n, v n ) (u, v ), (u n, v n ) (u, v ), a.e. in. Obviously, (u, v ) and (u, v ) (L ()) 2 and (u, v ), (u, v ) [(u, v), (u, v)]. Then, by the fact of T (ũ, ṽ) commented in (4.3), we have that T (u, v ) (respectively T (u, v )) is the unique weak solution of (4.3) when (ũ, ṽ) is replaced by (u, v ) (respectively by (u, v )). Considering (4.3) as the linear problem in Proposition 4.2, we have the conclusion that T (u, v ) and T (u, v ) S1,0(). 2 Since the continuity of Z and W ensures the continuity of T, we deduce that (u n+1, v n+1 ) = T (u n, v n ) T (u, v ) = (u, v ), (u n+1, v n+1 ) = T (u n, v n ) T (u, v ) = (u, v ) in S1,0(). 2 This completes the proof.
