The voltage-current characteristics of two classes of nonlinear resistors (varistors and thermistors) modelled as three-dimensional bodies is derived from the corresponding systems of nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems. Theorems of existence and uniqueness of solutions are presented, together with certain properties of monotonicity of the conductance.
