We consider in this paper the problem (1) where Ω is the unit ball in ℝN centred at the origin, 0 ≤ α < pN,β > 0, N ≥ 3. Suppose qϵq as ϵ → 0+ and qϵ, q satisfy, respectively, we investigate the asymptotic estimates of the ground-state solutions (uϵ, vϵ) of (1) as β → + ∞ with p, qϵ fixed. We also show the symmetry-breaking phenomenon with α, β fixed and qϵq as ϵ → 0+. In addition, the ground-state solution is non-radial provided that ϵ > 0 is small or β is large enough.
