A singular system involving mixed local and non-local operators

Abstract

Abstract This article sets forth results on the existence, non-existence, uniqueness, and regularities properties, as well as boundary behavior of solutions for singular systems involving mixed local and non-local elliptic operators (see System (S) below). More precisely, we first establish a new weak comparison principle for a singular equation. Afterward, we discuss the non-existence of positive classical solutions, as well as construct suitable ordered pairs of sub-solutions and super-solutions. This allows us to obtain the existence of a pair of positive weak solutions for System (S) by employing Schauder’s fixed-point theorem in the associated conical shell. Finally, we adapt a method of Krasnoselsky to establish the uniqueness of such a positive pair of solutions.
