摘要
We generalise the semi-Riemannian Morse index theorem to non-degenerate elliptic systems of partial differential equations on star-shaped domains. Moreover, we apply our theorem to bifurcation from a branch of trivial solutions of semilinear systems, where the bifurcation parameter is introduced by shrinking the domain to a point. This extends recent results of the authors for scalar equations. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
