  • Abstract
A thermistor is an electric circuit device made of ceramic material whose electric conductivity depends on the temperature. If the only heat source is the electric heating, the temperature and the electric potential satisfy a nonlinear elliptic system which is also degenerate if the electric conductivity is not uniformly bounded from above or away from zero. Under general boundary conditions, we establish existence and Hölder continuity of solutions of such a nonlinear nonuniformly elliptic system. When the elechic conductivity linearly depends on the temperature, we provide a non-uniqueness and non-existence example.
