Abstract

We prove the existence of infinitely many nonnegative solutions to the following nonlocal elliptic partial differential equation involving singularities \begin{align} (-\Delta)_{p(\cdot)}^{s} u&=\frac{\lambda}{|u|^{\gamma(x)-1}u}+f(x,u)~\text{in}~\Omega,\nonumber u&=0~\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega,\nonumber \end{align} where ΩRN,N2\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N,\, N\geq2 is a smooth, bounded domain, λ>0\lambda>0, s(0,1)s\in (0,1), γ(x)(0,1)\gamma(x)\in(0,1) for all xΩˉx\in\bar{\Omega}, N>sp(x,y)N>sp(x,y) for all (x,y)Ωˉ×Ωˉ(x,y)\in\bar{\Omega}\times\bar{\Omega} and (Δ)p()s(-\Delta)_{p(\cdot)}^{s} is the fractional p()p(\cdot)-Laplacian operator with variable exponent. The nonlinear function ff satisfies certain growth conditions. Moreover, we establish a uniform L(Ωˉ)L^{\infty}(\bar{\Omega}) estimate of the solution(s) by the Moser iteration technique.
