Existence and uniqueness theorems for solutions of parabolic equations with a variable nonlinearity exponent

The paper is concerned with the solvability of the initial-boundary value problem for second-order parabolic equations with variable nonlinearity exponents. In the model case, this equation contains the p-Laplacian with a variable exponent p(x,t). The problem is shown to be uniquely solvable, provided the exponent p is bounded away from both 1 and ∞ and is log-Hölder continuous, and its solution satisfies the energy equality.
