Abstract

In this paper, we study the following modified quasilinear fourth-order elliptic systems \[ \left\{\begin{array}{lll} \triangle^{2}u-\triangle u+(\lambda\alpha(x)+1)u-\frac{1}{2}\triangle(u^{2})u=\frac{p}{p+q}|u|^{p-2}|v|^{q}u,~~ \mbox{in} \;~\mathbb{R}^{N}, \\ \triangle^{2}v-\triangle v+(\lambda\beta(x)+1)v-\frac{1}{2}\triangle(v^{2})v=\frac{q}{p+q}|u|^{p}|v|^{q-2}v,~~ \mbox{in} \;~\mathbb{R}^{N},\end{array} \right.\] where \(\triangle^{2}=\triangle(\triangle)\) is the biharmonic operator, \(\lambda>0\), and \(2<p, 2<q,\) \(4<p+q<22^{\ast\ast}\), \(2^{\ast\ast}=\frac{2N}{N-4} \ (N\leq5)\) \((\mbox{if}~N\leq4, 2^{\ast\ast}=\infty)\) is the critical Sobolev exponent for the embedding \(W^{2,2}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\hookrightarrow L^{2^{\ast\ast}}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\). Under some appropriate assumptions on \(\alpha(x)\) and \(\beta(x)\), we obtain that the above problem has nontrivial ground state solutions via the variational methods. We also explore the phenomenon of concentration of solutions.
