Abstract

The existence of bounded weak solutions, to a class of nonlinear elliptic equations with variable exponents, is investigated in this article. A uniform a priori L estimate is obtained by the De Giorgi iterative technique. Thanks to the weak convergence method and Minty's trick, the existence result is proved through limit process.
