Solutions to \(p(x)\)-Laplace type equations via nonvariational techniques. (English) Zbl 1403.35100
Summary: In this article, we consider a class of nonlinear Dirichlet problems driven by a Leray-Lions type operator with variable exponent. The main result establishes an existence property by means of nonvariational arguments, that is, nonlinear monotone operator theory and approximation method. Under some natural conditions, we show that a weak limit of approximate solutions is a solution of the given quasilinear elliptic partial differential equation involving variable exponent.
