The main purpose of this paper is to show the existence of weak solutions for a problem involving the
fractional

\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle(-\Delta_{p(x,\cdot\,)})^{s}u(x)+w(x)%
\lvert u\rvert^{\bar{p}(x)-2}u&\displaystyle=\lambda f(x,u)&&\displaystyle%
\phantom{}\text{in }\Omega,\\
\displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{%

The main tool used for this purpose is the Berkovits topological degree.
