We investigate a symmetrical double quantum dot system serially attached to the leads. The emphasis is on the numerical analysis of finite interdot tunneling in the presence of interdot repulsive capacitive coupling. The results reveal the competition between extended Kondo phases and local singlet phases in spin and charge degrees of freedom. The corresponding phase diagram is determined quantitatively.
