Abstract

In this paper we employ the Monotone Iteration Method and the Leray-Schauder Degree Theory to study an 2-parametrized system of elliptic equations. We obtain a curve dividing the plane into two regions. Depending on which region the parameter is, the system will or will not have solutions. This is an Ambrosetti-Prodi-type problem for a system of equations.
