A Boundary Value Problem for Noninsulated Magnetic Regime in a Vacuum Diode

Abstract

In this paper, we study the stationary boundary value problem derived from the magnetic (non) insulated regime on a plane diode. Our main goal is to prove the existence of non-negative solutions for that nonlinear singular system of second-order ordinary differential equations. To attain such a goal, we reduce the boundary value problem to a singular system of coupled nonlinear Fredholm integral equations, then we analyze its solvability through the existence of fixed points for the related operators. This system of integral equations is studied by means of Leray-Schauder’s topological degree theory.
