Positive normalized solutions for a singular regularized $p(x)$-Laplacian Dirichlet problem

We study a singular Dirichlet problem driven by a regularized $p(x)$-Laplacian under a prescribed modular constraint. Using growth and differentiability estimates for the regularized energy, together with coercivity and modular compactness, we construct nonnegative constrained minimizers for a family of nonsingular approximating functionals. Under the admissibility of signed constrained variations, each minimizer satisfies an approximate Euler–Lagrange equation with a uniquely determined constraint multiplier. An explicit uniform boundary lower barrier and a compatible weight condition, combined with a variable exponent Hardy inequality, provide global dual control of the singular sources and convergence against every zero-trace Sobolev test function. For these approximate minimizing pairs, the singular-limit result gives subsequential strong Sobolev convergence of the states and convergence of their multipliers, while preserving positivity and the prescribed modular. The limiting pair is therefore a positive normalized weak solution of the singular problem, obtained by removing the reaction regularization while keeping the gradient regularization fixed.
