Abstract

We establish a priori bounds, existence and qualitative behaviour of positive radial solutions in annuli for a class of nonlinear systems driven by Pucci extremal operators and Lane-Emden coupling in the superlinear regime. Our approach is purely nonvariational. It is based on the shooting method, energy functionals, spectral properties, and on a suitable criteria for locating critical points in annular domains through the moving planes method that we also prove.
