Sign changing solutions for coupled critical elliptic equations. (English) Zbl 1437.35277

Summary: In this paper, we consider the coupled elliptic system with a Sobolev critical exponent. We show the existence of a sign changing solution for problem \(\left(\mathscr{P}\right)\) for the coupling parameter \(-\sqrt{\mu_1 \mu_2} < \beta < 0\). We also construct multiple sign changing solutions for the symmetric case.
