Abstract

In this paper we study a non-homogeneous Neumann problem, where the p(x)p(x)-Laplacian is involved and p=p=\infty in a subdomain. By considering a suitable sequence pkp_k of bounded variable exponents such that pkpp_k \to p and replacing pp with pkp_k in the original problem, we prove the existence of a solution uku_k for each of those intermediate ones. We show that the limit of the uku_k exists and after giving a variational characterization of it, in the part of the domain where pp is bounded, we show that it is a viscosity solution in the part where p=p=\infty. Finally, we formulate the problem of which this limit function is a solution in the viscosity sense.
