Abstract

This work is devoted to the study of a quasilinear elliptic system of resonant type. We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions of a related nonlinear eigenvalue problem. Applying an abstract minimax theorem, we obtain a solution of the quasilinear system Δpu=Fu(x,u,v),Δqv=Fv(x,u,v), under conditions involving the first and the second eigenvalues.
