Abstract

In this work we are interested in the periodic solutions of the singular problem involving variable exponent with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions modeled as

$$\begin{aligned} {\partial _t u}-\varDelta u =\displaystyle \frac{f}{u^{\gamma (t,x)}}\text { in }]0,T[\times \varOmega \end{aligned}$$

Where \(\varOmega \) is an open regular bounded subset of \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\), \(T>0\) is the period, \(\gamma (t,x)\) is a nonnegative periodic function belonging in \({\mathcal {C}}(\overline{Q_{T}})\) and f is a nonnegative measurable function periodic in time with period T and belonging to a certain Lebesgue space. Under suitable assumptions on \(\gamma \) and f, we prove an existence result of a nonnegative weak time periodic solution to the considered problem.
