Variable Exponent Sobolev Spaces for Semilinear Elliptic Systems

In this work, the semilinear elliptic systems with Dirichlet boundary value are considered. We extend the notion of subcritical growth from polynomial growth to variable exponent growth. Under the variable exponent growth, nontrivial solutions are obtained via variable exponent Sobolev spaces and variational methods. In article final, we make a remark to explain that our main result is a extention of a recent result of D. G. de Figueiredo, J. M. do Óand B. Ruf [D. G. de Figueiredo, J. M. do Ó, B. Ruf, An Orlicz-space approach to superlinear elliptic systems, J. Funct. Anal. 224 (2005) 471–496].
