    Summary: The existence of weak solutions to the initial Dirichlet problem of the equation \(u_t = u\,\text{div}(|\nabla u|^{p(x)-2}\nabla u)\), with \(\inf p(x) > 2\) is studied. We adopt the method of parabolic regularization. After establishing some necessary uniform estimates on the approximate solutions, we prove the existence of weak solutions.
