Abstract: In this work the existence of weak solutions for a class of non-Newtonian viscous fluid problems is analyzed. The problem is modeled by the steady case of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations, where the exponent $q$ that characterizes the flow depends on the space variable: $q=q(mathbfx)$. For the associated boundary-value problem we show that, in some situations, the log-H"older continuity condition on $q$ can be dropped and the result of the existence of weak solutions still remain valid for any variable exponent $qgeqalpha>frac2NN+2$, where $alpha=mathrmessinfq$.
