“…These results apply to special forms of differential equations, characterized by different abstract conditions on nonlinearities and nonstandard ( p , q ) growth of such equation. In addition, we refer to Acerbi and Mingione, 7 Ru˙z̆ic̆ka, 8 Chen et al, 9 Harjulehto et al, 10 and Molica Bisci and Repovš 11 for a deeper analysis on properties, modeling, and application of variable exponent spaces to smart fluids (see also Bgelein et al 12 ). More specifically, for electrorheological fluids, we refer to Ru˙z̆ic̆ka, 8 Mihǎsilescu and Rǎdulescu, 13 and Rajagopal and Ru˙z̆ic̆ka 14,15 ; for thermorheological fluids, we refer to Antontsev and Rodrigues 16 .…”
