Summary: We study nonexistence and removability results for nonnegative subsolutions to \[ \Delta u= a(x) v^p,\quad \Delta v= b(x) u^q\quad \text{in } \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n,\quad N\geq 3, \] where \(p\geq 1\), \(q\geq 1\), \(pq> 1\), and \(a\) and \(b\) are nonnegative functions. As a consequence of this work, we obtain new results for biharmonic equations.
