We study a second order nonlinear system driven by the vector $p$-Laplacian, with a multivalued nonlinearity and defined on the positive time semi-axis ${{\mathbb{R}}_{+}}.$ Using degree theoretic techniques we solve an auxiliary mixed boundary value problem defined on the finite interval $\left[ 0,\,n \right]$ and then via a diagonalization method we produce a solution for the original infinite time horizon system.
