We study the following nonlinear Schrödinger system which is related to Bose–Einstein condensate:{.-Δ u+ λ 1 u= μ 1 u 2∗-1+ β u 2∗ 2-1 v 2∗ 2, x∈ Ω,-Δ v+ λ 2 v= μ 2 v 2∗-1+ β v 2∗ 2-1 u 2∗ 2, x∈ Ω, u≥ 0, v≥ 0 in Ω, u= v= 0 on∂ Ω. Here Ω ⊂\mathbb R^ N Ω⊂ RN is a smooth bounded domain, 2^*:= 2N N-2 2∗:= 2 NN-2 is the Sobolev critical exponent,-λ _1 (Ω)< λ _1, λ _2< 0-λ 1 (Ω)< λ 1, λ 2< 0, μ _1, μ _2> 0 μ 1, μ 2> 0 and β ≠ 0 β≠ 0, where λ _1 (Ω) λ 1 (Ω) is the first eigenvalue of-Δ-Δ with the Dirichlet boundary condition. When β= 0 β= 0, this is just the well-known Brezis–Nirenberg problem. The special case N= 4 N= 4 was studied by the authors in (Arch Ration Mech Anal 205: 515–551, 2012). In this paper we consider the higher dimensional case N ≥ 5 N≥ 5. It is interesting that we can prove the existence of a positive least energy solution (u_ β, v_ β)(u β, v β) for any β ≠ 0 β≠ 0 (which can not hold in the special case N= 4 N= 4). We also study the limit behavior of (u_ β, v_ β)(u β, v β) as β →-∞ β→-∞ and phase separation is expected. In particular, u_ β-v_ β u β-v β will converge to sign-changing solutions of the Brezis–Nirenberg problem, provided N ≥ 6 N≥ 6. In case λ _1= λ _2 λ 1= λ 2, the classification of the least energy solutions is also studied. It turns out that some quite different phenomena appear comparing to the special case N= 4 N= 4.
