This paper is concerned with the following quasilinear Schrödinger system in the entire space

$ \mathbb R^{N}(N\geq3) $

:

$ \left\{\begin{aligned} &-\Delta u+A(x)u+\frac{k}{2}\triangle(u^{2})u = \frac{2\alpha }{\alpha+\beta}|u|^{\alpha-2}u|v|^{\beta},\\ &-\Delta v+Bv+\frac{k}{2}\triangle(v^{2})v = \frac{2\beta}{\alpha+\beta}|u|^{\alpha}|v|^{\beta-2}v,\\ & u(x)\to 0,\ \ v(x)\to 0\ \ \hbox{as}\ |x|\to \infty,\end{aligned}\right. $

where

$ \alpha,\beta>1 $

,

$ 2<\alpha+\beta<2^* = \frac{2N}{N-2} $

and

$ k >0 $

is a parameter. By using the principle of symmetric criticality and the moser iteration, for any given integer

$ \xi\geq2 $

, we construct a non-radially symmetrical nodal solution with its

$ 2\xi $

nodal domains. Our results can be looked on as a generalization to results by Alves, Wang and Shen (Soliton solutions for a class of quasilinear Schrödinger equations with a parameter. J. Differ. Equ. 259 (2015) 318-343).

Keywords: Quasilinear Schrödinger system, Non-radially symmetrical nodal solutions, Moser iteration.

Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 35J20, 35J05, 35J60.
