Abstract

We prove the existence of solutions for the system of the nonlinear biharmonic equations with Dirichlet boundary condition $$\{^{-{\Delta}^2u-c{\Delta}u+{\gamma}(bu^+-av^-)=s{\phi}_1\;in\;{\Omega},\;}_{-{\Delta}^2u-c{\Delta}u+{\delta}(bu^+-av^-)=s{\phi}_1\;in\;{\Omega}}$$, where $u^+$ = max{u, 0}, ${\Delta}^2$ denotes the biharmonic operator and ${\phi}_1$ is the positive eigenfunction of the eigenvalue problem $-{\Delta}$ with Dirichlet boundary condition.
