      <abstract>Using a dual variational method we shall show the
      existence of solutions to the Dirichlet problem \begin
      {eqnarray} -\divv \Bigl ( \bigl | \nabla u( x) \bigr | ^{p(
      x) -2}\nabla u( x) \Bigr ) &amp;=&amp;F_{u}\bigl ( x,u( x)
      \bigr ) \text {, }u\in W_{0}^{1,p ( x ) } ( \Omega )
      \nonumber \\ x ( y ) | _{\partial \Omega }&amp;=&amp;0. \end
      {eqnarray} without assuming Palais--Smale
      condition.</abstract>
