We consider the nonlinear elliptic system $$\left \{ \begin{aligned} -&\Delta u +u - u^3 -\beta v^2u = 0\quad \rm{in}\, \mathbb B,\\ -&\Delta v +v - v^3 -\beta u^2v = 0\quad \rm{in}\, \mathbb B,\\ &u,v > 0 \quad \rm{in}\, \mathbb B,\quad u=v=0 \quad \rm{on}\, \partial \mathbb B, \end{aligned} \right.$$ whereandis the unit ball. We show that, for everyand, the above problem admits a radially symmetric solution (uβ,vβ) such thatuβ−vβchanges sign preciselyktimes in the radial variable. Furthermore, as, after passing to a subsequence,uβ→w+andvβ→w−uniformly in, wherew=w+−w−has preciselyknodal domains and is a radially symmetric solution of the scalar equation Δw−w+w3= 0 in,w= 0 on. Within a Hartree–Fock approximation, the result provides a theoretical indication of phase separation into many nodal domains for Bose–Einstein double condensates with strong repulsion.
