Résumé

In this article, we study the following problem with Navier boundary conditions

$\displaylines{ \Delta (|\Delta u|^{p(x)-2}\Delta u)+|u|^{p(x)-2}u =\lambda |u|^{q(x)-2}u +\mu|u|^{\gamma(x)-2}u\quad {in } \Omega,\cr u=\Delta u=0 \quad {on } \partial\Omega. }$

where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega, N\geq1. p(x),q(x)$ and $\gamma(x)$ are continuous functions on $\overline{\Omega}, \lambda$ and $\mu$ are parameters. Using variational methods, we establish some existence and non-existence results of solutions for this problem.
