Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions for a class of p(x)-curl systems arising in electromagnetism. Some new criteria to guarantee that the existence of at least two solutions for the considered problem is established by using the variational approach in critical point theory, which extend and complement previously known results in the literature.
