Abstract

We establish the equivalence between weak and viscosity solutions for non-homogeneous p(x)p(x)-Laplace equations with a right-hand side term depending on the spatial variable, the unknown, and its gradient. We employ inf- and sup-convolution techniques to state that viscosity solutions are also weak solutions, and comparison principles to prove the converse. The new aspects of the p(x)p(x)-Laplacian compared to the constant case are the presence of log\log-terms and the lack of the invariance under translations.
