In this paper we discuss the uniqueness of positive solutions of the nonlinear second order system -u'' = g(v), -v'' = f(u) in (-R,R), u(±R) = v(±R) = 0 where f and g satisfy some appropriate conditions. Our result applies, in particular, to g(v) = v, f(u) = u, p > 1, or f(u) = λu + au + ... + au, with p > 1, a > 0 for j = 1, ..., k and 0 ≤ λ < μ where μ = π/4R.
