Abstract: Let $Omega$ be an open subset of $mathbb{R}^N$, and let $p,,q:Omegaightarrowleft[1,inftyight]$ be measurable functions. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the embedding of the variable exponent space $L^{p(cdot)}left(Omegaight)$ in $L^{q(cdot)}left(Omegaight)$ to be almost compact. This leads to a condition on $Omega,,p$ and $q$ sufficient to ensure that the Sobolev space $W^{1,p(cdot)}left(Omegaight)$ based on $L^{p(cdot)}left(Omegaight)$ is compactly embedded in $L^{q(cdot)}left(Omegaight);$ compact embedding results of this type already in the literature are included as special cases.
