contents We study the following gradient elliptic system with Neumann boundary conditions \begin{equation*} -Δu + λ_1 u = u^3 + βuv^2, \ -Δv + λ_2 v = v^3 + βu^2 v \ \text{in } Ω,\qquad \frac{\partial u}{\partial ν} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial ν} = 0 \ \text{on } \partial Ω, \end{equation*} where $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N $ is a bounded $ C^2$ domain with $ N \leq 4 $, and $ ν$ denotes the outward unit normal on the boundary. We investigate the existence of non-constant least energy solutions in both the cooperative ($β> 0 $) and the competitive ($ β< 0 $) regimes, considering both the definite and the indefinite case, namely $λ_1,λ_2\in\mathbb R$. We emphasize that our analysis includes both the subcritical case $ N \leq 3 $ and the critical case $ N = 4 $. Depending on the values of $β,λ_1,λ_2$, the least energy solution is obtained either via a linking theorem, by minimizing over a suitable Nehari manifold, or by direct minimization on the set of all non-trivial weak solutions. Our results and techniques can be also adapted to cover some previously untreated cases for Dirichlet conditions.
