Abstract

In this paper we study, analytically and numerically, the existence and blow up of solutions to two-dimensional boundary value problems of the form Δ uλ = 0 in Ω, ∂ uλ / ∂ n = D uλ + λ f (uλ) on ∂Ω. We place particular emphasis on f (u) = sinh (u) = frac((eu - e- u), 2), in which case the nonlinear flux boundary condition is frequently associated with the names of Butler and Volmer.
