The authors of this text study weak solutions to the variational inequalities with degenerate parabolic operators and symmetric structure in Sobolev spaces with variable exponent. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions are treated by using the penalty method and the reduction method in the weak sense. The authors also discuss the nonexistence and long-time behavior of solutions.
In this paper, we study the degenerate parabolic variational inequality problem in a bounded domain. First, the weak solutions of the variational inequality are defined. Second, the existence of the solutions in the weak sense are proved by using the penalty method and the reduction method.

In this paper, we study the degenerate parabolic variational inequalities in a bounded domain. By solving a series of penalty problems, the existence and uniqueness of the solutions in the weak sense are proved by the energy method and a limit process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
