The paper examines strongly nonlinear PDEs arising in continuum mechanics, in particular, the equation of polytropic filtration. The author proves the unique solvability in the class of generalized functions for the following problems in a domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\): 1) the Dirichlet problem for the equation \[ Lu\equiv -\sum^n_{i=1} {\partial\over\partial x_i} \Biggl(\Biggl|{\partial u\over\partial x_i}\Biggr|^{p(x)-2}{\partial u\over\partial x_i}\Biggr)= f(x) \] with a measurable function \(p(x)>1\), and 2) the initial-boundary value problem for the evolution equation \(\partial u/\partial t+Lu= f(t,x)\) with the function \(p(x)>2\) under the condition \(\underset\Omega{}{\text{ess sup}} p<\infty\). Some generalizations of these results are given for higher-order equations.
