We investigate stationary energy models in heterostructures consisting of continuity equations for all involved species, of a Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential and of an energy balance equation. The resulting strongly coupled system of elliptic differential equations has to be supplemented by mixed boundary conditions. If the boundary data are compatible with thermodynamic equilibrium then there exists a unique steady state. We prove that in a suitable neighbourhood of such a thermodynamic...
The present part of the paper completes the discussion in Part I in two directions. Firstly, in Section 5 a number of existence theorems for a solution to Problem III (principle of minimum potential energy) is established. Secondly, Section 6 and 7 are devoted to a discussion of both the classical and the abstract approach to the duality theory as well as the relationship between the solvability of Problem III and its dual one.
The equilibrium state of a deformable body under the action of body forces is described by the well known conditions of equilibrium, the straindisplacement relations, the constitutive law of the linear theory and the boundary conditions. The authors discuss in detail the boundary conditions. The starting point is the general relation between the vectors of stress and displacement on the boundary which can be expressed in terms of a subgradient relation. It is shown that this relation includes as...
