A topological method, based on the fundamental properties of the Leray–Schauder degree, is used in proving the existence of a week solution in W01,p(⋅)(Ω) to Dirichlet problem

−div(|∇u|p(x)−2∇u)=f(x,u),x∈Ω,(P)
u=0,x∈∂Ω.
This method is an adaptation of that used by Dinca et al. [G. Dinca, P. Jebelean, Une méthode de point fixe pour le p-laplacien, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 324 (1997) 165–168. [1], G. Dinca, P. Jebelean, J. Mawhin, Variational and topological methods for Dirichlet problems with p-Laplacian, Portugal. Math. 53 (3) (2001) 339–377. [2]] for Dirichlet problems with classical p-Laplacian (p(x)≡p=const.>1).

On utilise une méthode topologique, basée sur les propriétés fondamentales du degré de Leray–Schauder, afin de démontrer l'existence d'une solution faible dans W01,p(⋅)(Ω) pour le problème de Dirichlet (P). Cette méthode représente une adaptation de celle utilisée par Dinca et al. [G. Dinca, P. Jebelean, Une méthode de point fixe pour le p-laplacien, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 324 (1997) 165–168. [1], G. Dinca, P. Jebelean, J. Mawhin, Variational and topological methods for Dirichlet problems with p-Laplacian, Portugal. Math. 53 (3) (2001) 339–377. [2]] pour le p-laplacien classique (p(x)≡p=cte.>1).
