Existence and nonexistence of solutions to nonlinear gradient elliptic systems involving (p(x),q(x))-Laplacian operators

Ouarda Saifia, Jean Velin

Abstract:
In this article, we establish the existence of nontrivial solutions by employing the fibering method introduced by Pohozaev. We also generalize the well-known Pohozaev and Pucci-Serrin identities to a (p(x),q(x))-Laplacian system. A nonexistence result for a such system is then proved.
