&2v= $(u&# v) in RN,(1) u (x) Ä 0, if| x| Ä, v (x) Ä 0, if| x| Ä, where $,#> 0 and f (u)= &u (u&1)(u&a) with 0< a< 1Ā2. Klaasen and Troy [12] investigated this system when N= 1. Using a shooting argument they proved under certain conditions on the parameters the existence of a nontrivial solution. They also proved the existence of an infinite number of periodic solutions to the equations in (1). On smooth bounded domains, Klaasen and Mitidieri [11] studied the corresponding system, subjected to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Their results show that both the domain and the parameters play a role in the existence and nonexistence of solutions. Results about the positivity of these solutions were obtained by De Figueiredo and Mitidieri [6]. With a suitable rescaling, solutions on a bounded domain, say 0, are seen to be steady state solutions of the system ut= D1 2u+ f (u) &v in (0,) _0,(2) vt= D2 2v+=(u&# v) in (0,) _0, with D1, D2,=> 0. With D2= 0,(2) is known as the FitzHugh Nagumo equations. These equations are used as a model for nerve conduction and other chemical and biological systems [7, 10].
