We study the boundary value problem in , u =0 on , where is a smooth bounded domain in and is a -Laplace type operator, with . We prove that if λ is large enough then there exist at least two non-negative weak solutions. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of generalized Lebesgue–Sobolev spaces, combined with adequate variational methods and a variant of the Mountain Pass lemma.

We study the boundary value problem-div⁡((|∇u|p1(x)-2+|∇u|p2(x)-2)∇u)=f(x,u)inΩ,u=0on∂Ω, whereΩis a smooth bounded domain inℝN. We focus on the cases whenf±(x,  u)=±(-λ|u|m(x)-2u+|u|q(x)-2u), wherem(x)≔max⁡⁡{p1(x),p2(x)}<q(x)<N⋅m(x)N-m(x)for anyx∈Ω̅. In the first case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for anyλ>0. In the second case we prove that ifλis large enough then there exists a nontrivial weak solution. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces, combined with aℤ2-symmetric version for even functionals of the Mountain Pass Lemma and some adequate variational methods.

In this paper, we consider a class of fourth-order elliptic equations of Kirchhoff type with variable exponent [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], is a smooth bounded domain, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is the operator of fourth-order called the [Formula: see text]-biharmonic operator, [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian, [Formula: see text] is a log-Hölder continuous function and [Formula: see text] is a continuous function satisfying some certain conditions. A multiplicity result for the problem is obtained by using the mountain pass theorem and Ekeland’s variational principle provided [Formula: see text] is small enough.

Let Ω ⊂ ℝN, N ≥ 2, be a smooth bounded domain. It is shown that: (a) if [Formula: see text] and ess inf x ∈ y p(x) > 1, then the generalized Lebesgue space (Lp (·)(Ω), ‖·‖p(·)) is smooth; (b) if [Formula: see text] and p(x) > 1, [Formula: see text], then the generalized Sobolev space [Formula: see text] is smooth. In both situations, the formulae for the Gâteaux gradient of the norm corresponding to each of the above spaces are given; (c) if [Formula: see text] and p(x) ≥ 2, [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is uniformly convex and smooth.

We obtain some nonlocal characterizations for a class of variable exponent Sobolev spaces arising in nonlinear elasticity, in the theory of electrorheological fluids as well as in image processing for the regions where the variable exponent p ( x ) reaches the value 1.

We obtain some nonlocal characterizations for a class of variable exponent Sobolev spaces arising in nonlinear elasticity theory and in the theory of electrorheological fluids. We also get a singular limit formula extending Nguyen results to the anisotropic case.
