Solution for nonvariational fractional elliptic system with concave and convex nonlinearities

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the existence of a positive solution for a class of nonvariational fractional elliptic system with concave and convex nonlinearities in two cases. The paper is divided in two parts: In the first one, for general nonlinearity with subcritical or critical growth, we use Galerkin’s method and an approximation argument to show the existence of a solution for the system considered. In the second part, for special cases (which include the power case), we remove the restriction on the growth of the nonlinearity and use sub-supersolution, monotone iteration and a comparison argument to obtain a solution for the system considered.
