Existence of weak solutions for the thermistor problem with degeneracy

Abderrahmane El Hachimi & Moulay Rachid Sidi Ammi

Abstract:
We prove the existence of weak solutions for the thermistor problem with degeneracy by using a regularization and truncation process. The solution of the regularized-truncated problem is obtained by using Schauder's fixed point theorem. Then the solutions of the thermistor problem are obtained by applying the monotonicity-compacity method of Lions.
