Using a dual variational method which we develop, we show the existence and stability of solutions for a family of Dirichlet problems k = 0, 1,… in a bounded domain in ℝN and with the nonlinearity satisfying some general growth conditions. The assumptions put on v are satisfied by p(x)-Laplacian operators.
