Quasilinear parabolic problem with $p(x)$-Laplacian: existence, uniqueness of weak solutions and stabilization

Abstract

We discuss the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution of the following quasilinear parabolic equation $u_t-\Delta _{p(x)}u = f(x,u)$ in $ (0,T)\times\Omega$; $u = 0$ on $(0,T)\times\partial\Omega$; $u(0,x)=u_0(x)$ in $\Omega$; involving the $p(x)$-Laplacian operator. Next, we discuss the global behaviour of solutions and in particular some stabilization properties.
