Abstract: After studying in a previous work the smoothness of the space UΓ0 = {u ∈ W1,p(·)(Ω); u = 0 on Γ0 ? Γ = ?Ω}, where dΓ ? measΓ0 > 0, with p(·) ∈ C(Ω) and p(x) > 1 for all x ∈ Ω, the authors study in this paper the strict and uniform convexity as well as some special properties of duality mappings defined on the same space. The results obtained in this direction are used for proving existence results for operator equations having the form J?u = Nfu, where J? is a duality mapping on UΓ0 corresponding to the gauge function ?, and Nf is the Nemytskij operator generated by a Carath′eodory function f satisfying an appropriate growth condition ensuring that Nf may be viewed as acting from UΓ0 into its dual.
