Let
$\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$
 (
$n=2$
 or
$n=3$
) be a bounded domain. We consider the thermistor system
$\text{(1)}\quad \nabla\cdot \boldsymbol{J}=0,\qquad \text{(2)}\quad \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}+\nabla\cdot\boldsymbol{q}=f(x,t,u,\nabla\varphi)\;\text{ in }\; \Omega\times\,]\,0,T\,[\,,$
where (1) is a
$p$
-Laplace type equation for
$\varphi$
 (
$u=$
 temperature,
$\varphi=$
 electrostatic potential). We prove the existence of a weak solution
$(\varphi,u)$
 of (1)–(2) under mixed boundary conditions for
$\varphi$
, and a Robin boundary condition and an initial condition for
$u$
.
Keywords: Thermistor system, Robin boundary condition, p-Laplacian.
