We consider interior Hölder regularity of the spatial gradient of viscosity solutions to the normalized $p(x,t)$-Laplace equation $$ u_t=\left(δ_{ij}+(p(x,t)-2)\frac{u_i u_j}{|Du|^2}\right)u_{ij} $$ with some suitable assumptions on $p(x,t)$, which arises naturally from a two-player zero-sum stochastic differential game with probabilities depending on space and time.
We study Hölder continuity for solutions of the $p$-Laplace equation. This is established through a method involving an ordinary differential inequality, in contrast to the classical proof of the De Giorgi-Nash-Moser Theorem which uses iteration of an inequality through concentric balls.
We give a unified proof of Hölder regularity of weak solutions for mixed local and nonlocal $p$-Laplace type parabolic equations with the full range of exponents $1<p<\infty$. Our proof is based on the expansion of positivity together with the energy estimate and De Giorgi type lemma.
We prove the local gradient Hölder regularity of viscosity solutions to the inhomogeneous normalized $p(x)$-Laplace equation $$ -Δu-(p(x)-2)\frac{\left\langle D^{2}uDu,Du\right\rangle }{\left|Du\right|^{2}} = f(x), $$ where $p$ is Lipschitz continuous, $\inf p>1$, and $f$ is continuous and bounded.
We show that bounded solutions of the quasilinear elliptic equation $Δ_{p(x)} u=g+div(\textbf{F})$ are locally Hölder continuous provided that the functions $g$ and $\textbf{F}$ are in suitable Lebesgue spaces.
In this note, we prove the boundary Hölder regularity for the infinity Laplace equation under a proper geometric condition. This geometric condition is quite general, and the exterior cone condition, the Reifenberg flat domains, and the corkscrew domains (including the non-tangentially accessible domains) are special cases. The key idea, following [3], is that the strong maximum principle and the scaling invariance imply the boundary Hölder regularity.
In this paper, we obtain local Hölder regularity for bounded, weak solutions to the anisotropic $p$-Laplace equation whose prototype structure is given by $$ \sum_{i=1}^N (|u_{x_i}|^{p_i-2}u_{x_i})_{x_i}=0,$$ where $1 < p_1 \leq p_2 \leq \cdots \leq p_N < \infty$. Under an additional assumption that double truncates of the solution are sub/super solution, we obtain Hölder regularity for the anisotropic equation.
We give an alternative proof for Hölder regularity for weak solutions of nonlocal elliptic quasilinear equations modelled on the fractional p-Laplacian where we replace the discrete De Giorgi iteration on a sequence of concentric balls by a continuous iteration. This work can be viewed as the nonlocal counterpart to the ideas developed by Tiziano Granucci.
We establish two-sided Gaussian bounds for fundamental solutions of general non-divergence form parabolic operators with Hölder continuous coefficients. The result we obtain is essentially based on parametrix method.
This paper proves Hölder continuity of viscosity solutions to certain nonlocal parabolic equations that involve a generalized fractional time derivative of Marchaud or Caputo type. As a necessary and preliminary result, this paper first shows that viscosity solutions to certain nonlinear ordinary differential equations involving the generalized fractional time derivative are Hölder continuous.
We give a proof for the Hölder continuity of functions in the parabolic De Giorgi classes in metric measure spaces. We assume the measure to be doubling, to support a weak $(1,p)$-Poincaré inequality and to satisfy the annular decay property.
We study local boundedness and Hölder continuity of a parabolic equation involving the fractional $p$-Laplacian of order $s$, with $0<s<1$, $2\leq p < \infty$, with a general right hand side. We focus on obtaining precise Hölder continuity estimates. The proof is based on a perturbative argument using the already known Hölder continuity estimate for solutions to the equation with zero right hand side.
Motivated by an equation arising in magnetohydrodynamics, we prove that Holder continuous weak solutions of a nonlinear parabolic equation with singular drift velocity are classical solutions. The result is proved using the space-time Besov spaces introduced by Chemin and Lerner, combined with energy estimates, without any minimality assumption on the Holder exponent of the weak solutions.
We prove Hölder estimates for viscosity solutions of a class of possibly degenerate and singular equations modelled by the fractional $p$-Laplace equation $$ \text{PV} \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{|u(x)-u(x+y)|^{p-2}(u(x)-u(x+y))}{|y|^{n+sp}}\, dy =0, $$ where $s\in (0,1)$ and $p>2$ or $1/(1-s)<p<2$. Our results also apply for inhomogeneous equations with more general kernels, when $p$ and $s$ are allowed to vary with $x$, without any regularity assumption on $p$ and $s$. This complements and extends some of the recently obtained Hölder estimates for weak solutions.
We present a local almost everywhere regularity result for a general nonlinear non-diagonal parabolic system, which main part depends on symmetric part of the gradient.
In this paper we prove a Hölder propagation of smallness for solutions to second order parabolic equations whose general anisotropic leading coefficient has a jump at an interface. We assume that the leading coefficient is Lipschitz continuous with respect to the parabolic distance on both sides of the interface. The main effort consists in proving a local Carleman estimate for this parabolic operator.
We investigate existence and regularity of weak solutions of a 1-dimensional parabolic differential equation with a non-constant Hölder diffusion coefficient and a rough forcing term. Such an equation appears in studying the 1-dimensional Ericksen-Leslie model for nematic liquid crystals where our result applies. The result presented here uses the Hölder continuity of the diffusion coefficient which comes from the physical background and the analysis of the Ericksen-Leslie model. Moreover, the dependence of the Hölder exponent of the solution is explicit on the Hölder exponent of the diffusion…
We prove interior Hölder estimates for the spatial gradient of viscosity solutions to the parabolic homogeneous $p$-Laplacian equation \[ u_t=|\nabla u|^{2-p} \mbox{ div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u), \] where $1<p<\infty$. This equation arises from tug-of-war-like stochastic games with noise. It can also be considered as the parabolic $p$-Laplacian equation in non divergence form.
We investigate linear parabolic, second-order boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions on rough domains. Assuming only boundedness and ellipticity on the coefficient function and very mild conditions on the geometry of the domain, including a very weak compatibility condition between the Dirichlet boundary part and its complement, we prove Hölder continuity of the solution in space and time.
We give a proof of the Hölder continuity of weak solutions of certain degenerate doubly nonlinear parabolic equations in measure spaces. We only assume the measure to be a doubling non-trivial Borel measure which supports a Poincaré inequality. The proof discriminates between large scales, for which a Harnack inequality is used, and small scales, that require intrinsic scaling methods.
We establish the local Hölder continuity for the nonnegative weak solutions of certain doubly nonlinear parabolic equations possessing a singularity in the time derivative part and a degeneracy in the principal part. The proof involves the method of intrinsic scaling and the setting is a measure space equipped with a doubling non-trivial Borel measure supporting a Poincaré inequality.
Local Hölder regularity is established for certain weak solutions to a class of parabolic fractional $p$-Laplace equations with merely measurable kernels. The proof uses DeGiorgi's iteration and refines DiBenedetto's intrinsic scaling method. The control of a nonlocal integral of solutions in the reduction of oscillation plays a crucial role and entails delicate analysis in this intrinsic scaling scenario. Dispensing with any logarithmic estimate and any comparison principle, the proof is new even for the linear case.
In this paper we extend previous results on the regularity of solutions of integro-differential parabolic equations. The kernels are non necessarily symmetric which could be interpreted as a non-local drift with the same order as the diffusion. We provide an Oscillation Lemma and a Harnack Inequality which can be used to prove higher regularity estimates.
This paper deals with two separate but related results. First we consider weak solutions to a parabolic operator with Hörmander vector fields. Adapting the iteration scheme of Jürgen Moser for elliptic and parabolic equations in $\mathbb{R}^n$ we show a parabolic Harnack inequality. Then, after proving the Harnack inequality for weak solutions to equations of the form $u_t = \sum X_i (a_{ij} X_j u)$ we use this to show Hölder continuity. We assume the coefficients are bounded and elliptic. The iteration scheme is a tool that may be adapted to many settings and we extend this to nonlinear parab…
In this paper we study the regularity of weak solutions to an elliptic-parabolic system modeling natural network formation. The system is singular and involves cubic nonlinearity. Our investigation reveals that weak solutions are Hölder continuous when the space dimension $N$ is $2$. This is achieved via an inequality associated with the Stummel-Kato class of functions and refinement of a lemma originally due to S. Campanato and C. B. Morrey (\cite{G}, p. 86).
We prove interior Hölder estimate for the spatial gradients of the viscosity solutions to the singular or degenerate parabolic equation $$ u_t=|\nabla u|^κ\mbox{div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u), $$ where $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $κ\in (1-p,\infty).$ This includes the from $L^\infty$ to $C^{1,α}$ regularity for parabolic $p$-Laplacian equations in both divergence form with $κ=0$, and non-divergence form with $κ=2-p$. This work is a continuation of a paper by the last two authors \cite{JS}.
The parabolic normalized p-Laplace equation is studied. We prove that a viscosity solution has a time derivative in the sense of Sobolev belonging locally to $L^2$.
In this note we consider degenerate chemotaxis systems with porous media type diffusion and a source term satisfying the Hadamard growth condition. We prove the Hölder regularity for bounded solutions to parabolic-parabolic as well as for elliptic-parabolic chemotaxis systems.
In this paper we establish optimal solvability results, that is, maximal regularity theorems, for the Cauchy problem for linear parabolic differential equations of arbitrary order acting on sections of tensor bundles over boundaryless complete Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry. We employ an anisotropic extension of the Fourier multiplier theorem for arbitrary Besov spaces introduced in earlier by the author. This allows for a unified treatment of Sobolev-Slobodeckii and little Hölder spaces. In the flat case we recover classical results for Petrowskii-parabolic Cauchy problems.
We consider energy solutions of the inhomogeneous parabolic $p$-Laplacien system $\partial_t u-\text{div}(|D u|^{p-2}D u)=-\text{div} g$. We show in the case $p\geq 2$ that if the right hand side $g$ is locally in $L^\infty(\text{BMO})$, then $u$ is locally in $L^\infty(\mathcal{C}^1)$, where $\mathcal{C}^1$ is the 1-Hölder--Zygmund space. This is the borderline case of the Calderón-Zygmund theorey. We provide local quantitative estimates. We also show that finer properties of $g$ are conserved by $D u$, e.g.\ Hölder continuity. Moreover, we prove a new decay for gradients of $p$-caloric solut…
The present paper is devoted to studying of some weighted Hölder spaces. These spaces are designed in the way to serve as a framework for studying different statements for the thin film equations in weighted classes of smooth functions in the multidimensional setting. These spaces can serve also for considering of other equations with the degeneration on the boundary of the domain of definition.
We derive regularity estimates for viscosity solutions to the parabolic normalized p-Laplace. By using approximation methods and scaling arguments for the normalized p-parabolic operator, we show that the gradient of bounded viscosity solutions is locally asymptotically Lipschitz continuous when $p$ is sufficiently close to 2. In addition, we establish regularity estimates in Sobolev spaces.
In this paper, we study the second order Sobolev regularity of solutions to the parabolic $p$-Laplace equation. For any $p$-parabolic function $u$, we show that $D(|Du|^{\frac{p-2+s}{2}}Du)$ exists as a function and belongs to $L^{2}_{\text{loc}}$ with $s>-1$ and $1<p<\infty$. The range of $s$ is sharp.
In this paper we study an evolution equation involving the normalized $p$-Laplacian and a bounded continuous source term. The normalized $p$-Laplacian is in non divergence form and arises for example from stochastic tug-of-war games with noise. We prove local $C^{α, \fracα{2}}$ regularity for the spatial gradient of the viscosity solutions. The proof is based on an improvement of flatness and proceeds by iteration.
We derive two equivalent definitions of the viscosity solutions to the homogeneous sub-p- Laplace parabolic equations on the Heisenberg group, and characterize the viscosity solutions in terms of an asymptotic mean value formula. Moreover, we construct an example to show that these formulae do not hold in non-asymptotic sense.
We investigate the mixed local and nonlocal parabolic $p$-Laplace equation \begin{align*} \partial_t u(x,t)-Δ_p u(x,t)+\mathcal{L}u(x,t)=0, \end{align*} where $Δ_p$ is the local $p$-Laplace operator and $\mathcal{L}$ is the nonlocal $p$-Laplace operator. Based on the combination of suitable Caccioppoli-type inequality and Logarithmic Lemma with a De Giorgi-Nash-Moser iteration, we establish the local boundedness and Hölder continuity of weak solutions for such equations.
We establish a local boundedness estimate for weak subsolutions to a doubly nonlinear parabolic fractional $p$-Laplace equation. Our argument relies on energy estimates and a parabolic nonlocal version of De Giorgi's method. Furthermore, by means of a new algebraic inequality, we show that positive weak supersolutions satisfy a reverse Hölder inequality. Finally, we also prove a logarithmic decay estimate for positive supersolutions.
James Serrin's fundamental contributions to the theory of quasilinear elliptic equations are well-known and widely appreciated. He also made less well-known contributions to the theory of quasilinear parabolic equations which we dicuss in this note. Jurgen Moser gave greatly simplified proofs of the De Giorgi-Nash regularity results for linear divergence structure elliptic and parabolic differential equations using an original iterative technique. Serrin extended Moser's techniques and applied them to the study of divergence structure quasilinear elliptic equations, and in collaboration with A…
We consider a Cauchy problem for a fractional anisotropic parabolic equation in anisotropic Hölder spaces. The equation generalizes the heat equation to the case of fractional power of the Laplace operator and the power of this operator can be different with respect to different groups of space variables. The time derivative can be either fractional Caputo - Jrbashyan derivative or usual derivative. Under some necessary conditions on the order of the time derivative we show that the operator of the whole problem is an isomorphism of appropriate anisotropic Hölder spaces. Under some another con…
