    Summary: In this paper, we extend the variational method of M. Agueh to a large class of parabolic equations involving \(q(x)\)-Laplacian parabolic equation \(\left( \partial \rho \left( t, x\right) / \partial t\right)= \operatorname{div}_x\left( \left. \rho \left( t, x\right)\right| \nabla_x \left. \left( G^\prime \left( \rho\right) + V\right)\right|^{q \left( x\right) - 2} \nabla_x \left( G^\prime \left( \rho\right) + V\right)\right)\). The potential \(V\) is not necessarily smooth but belongs to a Sobolev space \(W^{1, \infty}\left( \Omega\right)\). Given the initial datum \(\rho_0\) as a probability density on \(\Omega \), we use a descent algorithm in the probability space to discretize the \(q(x)\)-Laplacian parabolic equation in time. Then, we use compact embedding \(W^{1, q \left( .\right)}\left( \Omega\right) \hookrightarrow \hookrightarrow L^{q \left( .\right)}\left( \Omega\right)\) established by Fan and Zhao to study the convergence of our algorithm to a weak solution of the \(q(x)\)-Laplacian parabolic equation. Finally, we establish the convergence of solutions of the \(q(x)\)-Laplacian parabolic equation to equilibrium in the \(p(.)\)-variable exponent Wasserstein space.
