We prove uniqueness, existence and asymptotic behavior of positive solutions to the system coupled by
$ p $
-Laplacian elliptic equations
$ \begin{align*} \left \{ \begin{array}{l} -\Delta_p z_1 = \lambda_1 g_1(z_2)\ \ {\rm in}\ \Omega,\\ -\Delta_p z_2 = \lambda_2 g_2(z_1)\ \ {\rm in}\ \Omega,\\ z_1 = z_2 = 0\ \ {\rm on}\ \ \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right. \end{align*} $
where
$ \Delta_p u = \text{div}({|\nabla u|}^{p-2}\nabla u),\ 1<p<\infty $
,
$ \lambda_1 $
 and
$ \lambda_2 $
 are positive parameters,
$ \Omega $
 is the open unit ball in
$ \mathbb{R}^N,\ N\geq 2 $
.
Keywords: p-Laplacian equatios, positive solutions, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior, eigenvalue theory in cones, Gustafson and Schmitt's fixed-point theorem.
