On a sub-supersolution method for variational inequalities with Leray-Lions operators in variable exponent spaces (Q923992)

The author investigates a sub-supersolution method for a variational inequality \(\int_\varOmega A(x,\nabla u)\cdot (\nabla v -\nabla u)dx+\int_\varOmega f(x,u)( v - u)dx+\int_{\partial\varOmega} g(x,u)( v - u)dS\geq 0\;\forall v\in K\), where \(K\) is a closed subset of the Sobolev space \(W^{1,p(\cdot)}(\varOmega)\) with a variable exponent \(p(\cdot)\). Existence and qualitative properties of solutions between sub and supersolutions are established.
