Abstract

In this paper we prove global-in-time existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for the system of nonlinear partial differential equations arising from an electrochemistry model. The powers of nonlinearity are allowed to be arbitrary positive integers, and our domain is any bounded subdomain of ℝ2 with a smooth boundary.
