Abstract:
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the existence and the asymptotic behavior of positive continuous solutions of the following nonlinear coupled system: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\dfrac{1}{A}(Au')'= a(x)u^pv^r\quad\text{on}\ \ (0,1), \\[10 pt] -\dfrac{1}{B}(Bv')'=b(x)v^q u^s\quad\text{on}\ \ (0,1), \\[10 pt] u(0)=u(1)=v(0)=v(1)=0, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $p,q \in (-1,1)$ and $r,s \in \mathbb{R}$ are such that $ (1- |p |)(1-| q |)-|rs | >0$. The functions $A$ and $B$ are positive and differentiable on $(0,1) $, and the positive weight functions $a$ and $b$ may be singular at the boundary and satisfy some appropriate assumptions related to the Karamata class.
