Abstract


This paper deals with the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a class of quasilinear problems involving \(p(x)\)-Laplace type equation, namely $$
\left\{\begin{array}{lll}
-\mathrm{div}\, (a(| \nabla u|^{p(x)})| \nabla u|^{p(x)-2} \nabla u)= \lambda f(x,u)&\text{in}&\Omega,\\
n\cdot a(| \nabla u|^{p(x)})| \nabla u|^{p(x)-2} \nabla u +b(x)|u|^{p(x)-2}u=g(x,u) &\text{on}&\partial\Omega.
\end{array}\right.
$$
Our technical approach is based on variational methods, especially, the mountain pass theorem and the symmetric mountain pass theorem.


Keywords
