This paper is concerned with the following cooperative elliptic system:$$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-\Delta u=\xi u+f(x,u,v), \quad \quad \mbox{in }\Omega,-\Delta v=\zeta v+g(x,u,v), \quad \quad \mbox{in }\Omega,u=v=0, \quad \quad\mbox{on }\partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where \({U=(u,v): \Omega\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{2}}\), Ω is a bounded smooth domain in \({\mathbb{R}^{N}}\) and \({\xi,\zeta\in\mathbb{R}}\). We establish the existence of ground state solutions for this system using a much more direct approach to find a minimizing Cerami sequence for the energy functional outside the generalized Nehari manifold developed recently by Szulkin and Weth.KeywordsCooperative elliptic systemsSuperlinearGround state solutionThis research was supported by Natural Science Foundation of China 11271372, by the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of Central South University 2015zzts010 and by the Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences project of CSU.
