A Weak Solution for a Nonlinear Fourth-Order Elliptic System with Variable Exponent Operators and Hardy Potential

In this paper, we investigate the existence of at least one weak solution for a nonlinear fourth-order elliptic system involving variable exponent biharmonic and Laplacian operators. The problem is set in a bounded domain <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML&...

A key feature of the system is the presence of a Hardy-type singular term with a variable exponent, where <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>δ</mi><mo>(</mo><mi>x</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> represents the distance from <i>x</i> to the boundary <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo>∂</mo><mi mathvariant="script">D</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>.
