We use the method of upper and lower solutions combined with degree-theoretic techniques to prove the existence of multiple positive solutions to some superlinear elliptic systems of the form
on a smooth, bounded domain Ω⊂ℝn with Dirichlet boundary conditions, under suitable conditions on g1 and g2. Our techniques apply generally to subcritical, superlinear problems with a certain concave–convex shape to their nonlinearity.
