Existence of Weak Solutions for $p(.)$-Laplacian Equation via Compact Embeddings of the Double Weighted Variable Exponent Sobolev Spaces

Abstract

In this study, we define double weighted variable exponent Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q(.),p(.)}\left(\Omega ,{\vartheta }_0,\vartheta \right)$ with respect to two different weight functions. Also, we investigate the basic properties of this spaces. Moreover, we discuss the existence of weak solutions for weighted Dirichlet problem of $p(.)$-Laplacian equation \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} -\text{div}\left( \vartheta (x)\left\vert \nabla f\right\vert ^{p(x)-2}\nabla f\right) =\vartheta _{0}(x)\left\vert f\right\vert ^{q(x)-2}f & x\in Ω\\ f=0 & x\in \partial Ω\end{array} \right. \end{equation*} under some conditions of compact embedding involving the double weighted variable exponent Sobolev spaces.
