The present paper deals with the spectrum of a nonhomogeneous problem involving variable exponents on an exterior domain in
N. The existence of two positive real numbers
0 and
1, is established satisfying the condition
0
1, such that the problem has no eigenvalue in the interval (0,
0) while any number in the interval [
1,
) is an eigenvalue.
