Abstract
We consider a fractional double phase Robin problem involving variable order and variable exponents. The nonlinearity f is a Carathéodory function satisfying some hypotheses which do not include the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz-type condition. By using a variational methods, we investigate the multiplicity of solutions.
