Existence, localization and multiplicity results for positive radial solutions of semilinear elliptic systems

Abstract

Existence, localization and multiplicity results of positive solutions to a system of singular second-order differential equations are established by means of the vector version of Krasnoselskii’s cone fixed point theorem. The results are then applied for positive radial solutions to semilinear elliptic systems.
