Abstract. The steady-state electrical heating of a solid conductor is studied with mixed boundary conditions. A theorem of existence, nonexistence, and uniqueness of solutions is given under general assumptions on the electrical and thermal conductivities. The basic tool of the proof is a transformation first proposed in [3] by H. Diesselhorst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
