On Lipschitz truncations of Sobolev functions (with variable exponent) and their selected applications
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 14 (2008) no. 2, pp. 211-232.

We study properties of Lipschitz truncations of Sobolev functions with constant and variable exponent. As non-trivial applications we use the Lipschitz truncations to provide a simplified proof of an existence result for incompressible power-law like fluids presented in [Frehse et al., SIAM J. Math. Anal 34 (2003) 1064-1083]. We also establish new existence results to a class of incompressible electro-rheological fluids.
