Existence of solutions for \(p(x)\)-Laplacian problems on a bounded domain (Q2484275)

The authors deal with the \(p(x)\)-Laplacian problem \[ \begin{gathered} -\text{div}(a(x)|\nabla u|^{p(x)- 2}\nabla u)+ b(x)|u|^{p(x)-2} u= f(x,u),\quad x\in\Omega,\\ u= 0,\quad x\in\partial\Omega,\end{gathered}\tag{1} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(0< a_0\leq a(x)\in L^\infty(\Omega)\), \(0\leq b_0\leq b(x)\in L^\infty(\Omega)\), \(p\) is Lipschitz continuous on \(\overline\Omega\) and satisfies \[ 1< p_1\leq p(x)\leq p_2< n. \] The goal of the authors is to obtain sufficient conditions on \(f\) for (1) to admit nontrivial and nonnegative solutions. In the corrigendum the authors give the correct form of Theorem 2.8.
