is unique provided that

, and is not empty. If is
empty, then the solution is unique only to within a rigid body motion. For an
isotropic linear elastic material, the condition
is equivalent to
and .
A consequence of this uniqueness theorem is that if a solution of equations
(10.1)-(10.5) has been found by any means, then it is the only solution of the
problem.
