Abstract
We calculate the nonlinear dc conductance as well as the total current through a nonequilibrium quantum dot coupled to two superconducting leads. We show that the Kondo effect manifests itself in the appearence of two bound states inside the superconducting gap and discuss the influence of these bound states on the transport properties of the dot. The relation to the real systems is also briefly considered.
