Abstract :
The uniqueness properties of a class of nonlinear electrostatic field problems are investigated. The study was motivated by the development of numerical algorithms to analyse the performance of nonlinear semiconducting electron devices. Here, existence and uniqueness of the solution are prerequisites for the numerical results to have any meaning at all
