A Topological Approach to Singular Double-Phase Equations with Variable Exponents

Abstract

In the present paper, we study a singular double phase variable exponent Dirichlet problem in the setting of a new Musielak-Orlicz Sobolev space with the nonlinearity (the external source) having gradient dependence (so-called convection terms). We apply a topological existence result incorporating the Leray-Schauder degree and homotopy mapping together to prove the existence of at least one nontrivial solution.
