In this paper we prove existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of nonlinear singular biharmonic elliptic system in smooth bounded domains, with coupling of the equations, under Navier boundary condition. The solution is constructed through an approximating process based on a priori estimates, regularity up to the boundary and Hardy-Sobolev inequality.
Keywords: Biharmonic system, negative exponents, Hardy-Sobolev inequality., Navier boundary condition, approximation method.
