The p(x)-Laplace equation is the prototype equation for a class of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations having so-called nonstandard growth conditions. An important and useful tool in studying these types of equations is viscosity theory. We prove a p()-Poincar ́e-type inequality and use it to prove the equivalence of potential theoretic weak solutions and viscosity solutions to the p(x)-Laplace equation. We exploit this equivalence to prove a Rad ́o-type removability result for solutions to the p-Laplace equation in the Heisenberg group. Then we extend this result to the p(x)-Laplace equation in the Heisenberg group.
