Abstract

Using inverse positivity properties and Brouwer's fixed point theorem, we derive existence and uniqueness results for certain nonlinear systems of equations with off diagonal nonlinearity. The type of systems considered arises from stable finite volume discretizations of viscous nonlinear conservation laws and has a wide range of applications.
