Abstract

In this article, we  use the topological degree based on the abstract Hammerstein equation to investigate the existence of weak solutions for a class of elliptic Dirichlet boundary value problems involving the fractional \(p(x)\)-Laplacian operator with discontinuous nonlinearities. The appropriate functional framework for this problems is the fractional Sobolev space with variable exponent.
