This paper is concerned with the following class of elliptic equations
where
d05f9" title="Click to view the MathML source">u,v∈H1(RN),
N≤3,
μ,ν,β>0 are coupling constants,
λ(x) and
κ(x) are asymptotically periodic functions,
f and
20db8d2a58e9b9" title="Click to view the MathML source">g are continuous functions with subcritical growth. This type of system arises, in particular, in models in Bose–Einstein condensates theory. We prove the existence of positive solution for this weakly coupled system with
β>0 sufficiently large. Furthermore, we obtain some sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of positive solutions.
