Abstract

In this paper we present a Hodge-type decomposition for variable exponent spaces. More concretely, we address some time-dependent parabolic firstorder partial differential operators with non-constant coefficients, where one of the components is the kernel of the parabolic-type Dirac operator. This decomposition is presented over different types of domains in the n-dimensional Euclidean space n-dimensional Euclidean space \({\mathbb{R}^{n}}\). The case of the time-dependent Schrödinger operator is included as a special case within this context.
