Abstract

In this paper, existence, localization and uniqueness results of solutions to elliptic Dirichlet boundary value problems are established. The approach is based on the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder, the Brouwer fixed point theorem and the Galerkin method.MSC: 35J60, 47H10.

Highlights

  • In this paper, we consider the boundary value problem ⎧⎹–div(|∇u|p(x)– ∇u) = f (x, u) in, ⎩u = on ∂, ( . )where ⊂ RN is a nonempty bounded open set with smooth boundary ∂, p = p(x) ∈ C+( ) with < p– := min p(x) ≀ p+ := max p(x) < +∞ and f : × R → R is a continuous function.The operator –div(|∇u|p(x)– ∇u) is said to be the p(x)-Laplacian and becomes pLaplacian when p(x) ≡ p

  • One of the most studied models leading to a problem of this type is the model of motion of electro-rheological fluids, which are characterized by their ability to drastically change the mechanical properties under the influence of an exterior electro-magnetic field [, ]

  • Problems with variable exponent growth conditions appear in the mathematical modeling of stationary thermo-rheological viscous flows of non-Newtonian fluids and in the mathematical description of the processes filtration of an ideal baro-tropic gas through a porous medium [, ]

Summary

Introduction

Many authors have studied the existence of solutions for problem A useful method for the investigation of solutions to semilinear problems is based on the Leray-Schauder continuation principle, or equivalently, on Schaefers fixed point theorem. The aim of this paper is to present new existence, localization and uniqueness results for solutions to problem
