Abstract

The existence, stability and uniqueness of positive solutions to a semilinear elliptic system with sublinear nonlinearities are proved. It is shown that the precise global bifurcation diagram of the positive solutions is a monotone curve with different asymptotical behaviour according to the form of the nonlinearities. Equations with Hölder continuous nonlinearities are also considered.
