Double-Phase Neumann Problems with Variable Growth on Metric Measure Spaces
Abstract
We study a variable-exponent double-phase Neumann problem on a domain in a metric measure space, where the boundary measure satisfies an upper codimension-θ bound for 0≤θ<1. Under a local comparability condition on the double-phase growth function, we establish a modular estimate for a fractional maximal operator and use it to prove the existence and boundedness of the associated trace operator. We then establish coercivity of the associated energy functional on the normalized double-phase Newtonian space and, under reflexivity, prove the existence of minimizers. We further show that the set of minimizers is closed and convex, and that any two minimizers have the same minimal weak upper gradient almost everywhere. Finally, we prove the stability of minimizers under perturbations of the Neumann data.
