Abstract

In this paper we study the existence of nontrivial solutions of elliptic systems with critical nonlinearities and subcritical nonlinear coupling interactions, under Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. These equations are motivated from solitary waves of nonlinear Schrödinger systems in physics. Using minimax theorem and by estimates on the least energy, we prove the existence of nonstandard least energy solutions, i.e. solutions with least energy and each component is nontrivial.
