Abstract

In this work, our objective is to prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to a class of nonlinear degenerate weighted elliptic p(u)-Laplacian problem with Dirichlet-type and $L^{\infty}$ data. For this, we utilise some results from Sobolev spaces with weighted and variable exponents, as well as theorems such as the Minty-Browder theorem.
