On the fourth-order Leray–Lions problem with indefinite weight and nonstandard growth conditions

We prove the existence of at least three weak solutions for the fourth-order problem with indefinite weight involving the Leray–Lions operator with nonstandard growth conditions. The proof of our main result uses variational methods and the critical theorem of Bonanno and Marano [Appl. Anal. 89 (2010) 1–10].

Poincaré inequalities and Neumann problems for the variable exponent setting

<abstract><p>In an earlier paper, Cruz-Uribe, Rodney and Rosta proved an equivalence between weighted Poincaré inequalities and the existence of weak solutions to a family of Neumann problems related to a degenerate $ p $-Laplacian. Here we prove a similar equivalence between Poincaré inequalities in variable exponent spaces and solutions to a degenerate $ {p(\cdot)} $-Laplacian, a non-linear elliptic equation with nonstandard growth conditions.</p></abstract>

On Solutions of a Parabolic Equation with Nonstandard Growth Condition

A parabolic equation with nonstandard growth condition is considered. A kind of weak solution and a kind of strong solution are introduced, respectively; the existence of solutions is proved by a parabolically regularized method. The stability of weak solutions is based on a natural partial boundary value condition. Two novelty elements of the paper are both the dependence of diffusion coefficient bx,t on the time variable t, and the partial boundary value condition based on a submanifold of ∂Ω×0,T. How to overcome the difficulties arising from the nonstandard growth conditions is another technological novelty of this paper.

Long-time behaviour of solutions to an evolution PDE with nonstandard growth

In this paper, we prove time estimates for solutions to a general nonhomogeneous parabolic problem whose operator satisfies nonstandard growth conditions. We also study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to an anisotropic problem.
