Existence of weak positive solutions to a nonlinear PDE system around a triple phase boundary, coupling domain and boundary variables (Q549805)

The authors show the existence of a positive, bounded weak solution for a system of partial differential equations having a physical origin. The specific character of this system is the coupling of a variable satisfying a partial differential equation in the domain with a variable satisfying a differential equation on the boundary. The proof relies on the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem.
