备注：
Merged into new submission, "Partial Holder Regularity for Solutions of a Class of Cross-Diffusion Systems with Entropy Structure", with substantially broader scope. This submission only included non volume-filling models, such as the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model, whereas the new preprint can also handle volume-filling models, such as the Maxwell-Stefan model
In this contribution we obtain partial $C^{0,α}$-regularity for bounded solutions of a certain class of cross-diffusion systems, which are strongly coupled, degenerate quasilinear parabolic systems. Under slightly more restrictive assumptions, we obtain partial $C^{1,α}$-regularity. The cross-diffusion systems that we consider have a formal gradient flow structure, in the sense that they are formally identical to the gradient flow of a convex entropy functional. Furthermore, we assume that the cross-diffusion systems are not volume-filling. The main novel tool that we introduce in this contribution is a "glued entropy density," which allows us to emulate the classical theory of partial Hölder regularity for nonlinear parabolic systems by Giaquinta and Struwe within this new setting. To demonstrate the applicability of our results, we give two examples of well-studied cross-diffusion systems that satisfy our assumptions --one of which is the two component Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto (SKT) model for population dynamics.
H{ö}lder regularity of parabolic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions and application to reaction-diffusion and reaction-cross-diffusion systems
We study here a new generalization of Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg's partial regularity theory for weak solutions of the MHD equations. Indeed, in this framework some hypotheses on the pressure P are usually asked (for example P $\in$ L q t L 1 x with q > 1) and then local H{ö}lder regularity, in time and space variables, for weak solutions can be obtained over small neighborhoods. By introducing the notion of dissipative solutions, we weaken the hypothesis on the pressure (we will only assume that P $\in$ D) and we will obtain H{ö}lder regularity in the space variable for weak solutions.
We show that local weak solutions to parabolic systems of p-Laplace type are H{ö}lder continuous in time with values in a spatial Lebesgue space and H{ö}lder continuous on almost every time line. We provide an elementary and self-contained proof building on the local higher integrability result of Kinnunen and Lewis.

This work studies the regularity and the geometric significance of solution of the Cauchy problem for a degenerate parabolic equation $u_{t}=Δu^{m}$. Our main objective is to improve the H$\ddot{o}$lder estimate obtained by pioneers and then, to show the geometric characteristic of free boundary of degenerate parabolic equation. To be exact, the present work will show that: (1) the weak solution $u(x,t)\in{}C^{α,\fracα{2}}(\mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}^{+})$, where $α\in(0,1)$ when $m\geq2$ and $α=1$ when $m\in(1,2)$; (2) the surface $ϕ=(u(x,t))^β$ is a complete Riemannian manifold, which is …
The incompressible Micropolar system is given by two coupled equations: the first equation gives the evolution of the velocity field u while the second equation gives the evolution of the microrotation field $ω$. In this article we will consider regularity problems for weak solutions of this system. For this we will introduce the new notion of partial suitable solutions, which imposes a specific behavior for the velocity field u only, and under some classical hypotheses over the pressure, we will obtain a h{ö}lderian gain for both variables u and $ω$.
We extend the De Giorgi--Nash--Moser theory to a class of kinetic Fokker-Planck equations and deduce new results on the Landau-Coulomb equation. More precisely, we first study the H{ö}lder regularity and establish a Harnack inequality for solutions to a general linear equation of Fokker-Planck type whose coefficients are merely measurable and essentially bounded, i.e. assuming no regularity on the coefficients in order to later derive results for non-linear problems. This general equation has the formal structure of the hypoelliptic equations "of type II" , sometimes also called ultraparabolic…
We establish strong uniqueness for a class of degenerate SDEs of weak H{ö}rmander type under suitable H{ö}lder regularity conditions for the associated drift term. Our approach relies on the Zvonkin transform which requires to exhibit good smoothing properties of the underlying parabolic PDE with rough, here H{ö}lder, drift coefficients and source term. Such regularizing effects are established through a perturbation technique (forward parametrix approach) which also heavily relies on appropriate duality properties on Besov spaces. For the method employed, we exhibit some sharp thresholds on t…
We establish a new regularity property for weak solutions of parabolic systems with coefficients depending measurably on time as well as on all spatial variables. Namely, weak solutions are locally H{ö}lder continuous Lp valued functions for some p > 2.
In this paper, we show that the minimal solution of a backward stochastic differential equation gives a probabilistic representation of the minimal viscosity solution of an integro-partial differential equation both with a singular terminal condition. Singularity means that at the final time, the value of the solution can be equal to infinity. Different types of regularity of this viscosity solution are investigated: Sobolev, H{ö}lder or strong regularity.
Here we investigate the so-called temperature patch problem for the incompressible Boussinesq system with partial viscosity, in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$ $(N \geq 2)$, where the initial temperature is the characteristic function of some simply connected domain with $C^{1, \varepsilon}$ H{ö}lder regularity. Although recent results in [1, 15] ensure that an initially $C^1$ patch persists through the evolution, whether higher regularity is preserved has remained an open question. In the present paper, we give a positive answer to that issue globally in time, in the 2-D case for large initial…
This article provides techniques of raising the regularity of fractional order equations and resolves fundamental questions on the one-dimensional homogeneous boundary-value problem of skewed (double-sided) fractional diffusion advection reaction equation (FDARE) with variable coefficients on the bounded interval. The existence of the true (classical) solution together with norm estimation is established and the precise regularity bound is found; also, the structure of the solution is unraveled, capturing the essence of regularity, singularity, and other features of the solution. The key analy…
In the present paper, we investigate the regularity and symmetry properties of weak solutions to semilinear elliptic equations which are locally stable.
In the present work, we adopt the idea of velocity averaging lemma to establish regularity for stationary linearized Boltzmann equations in a bounded convex domain. Considering the incoming data, with three iterations, we establish regularity in fractional Sobolev space in space variable up to order $1^-$.
We present a short and elegant proof of an estimate for the pressure in terms of the velocity and external data in bounded domains under the slip and Navier boundary conditions. We also show an application of this result for conditional regularity of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.
We address the well-posedness for the two-dimensional Boussinesq equations with zero diffusivity in bounded domains. We prove global in time regularity for rough initial data: both the initial velocity and temperature have $ε$ fractional derivatives in $L^{q}$ for some $q>2$ and $ε>0$ arbitrarily small.
Under the condition of small external forces, we obtain existence of a weak solution of the steady Hall-MHD system with Hölder continuous magnetic field. We also established regularity of weak solutions provided that magnetic fields are bounded. For sufficiently small external forces, uniqueness result is also established.
By constructing explicit supersolutions, we obtain the optimal global Hölder regularity for several singular Monge-Ampère equations on general bounded open convex domains including those related to complete affine hyperbolic spheres, and proper affine hyperspheres. Our analysis reveals that certain singular-looking equations, such as $ \det D^2 u = |u|^{-n-2-k} (x\cdot Du -u)^{-k} $ with zero boundary data, have unexpected degenerate nature.
New results are obtained for global regularity and long-time behavior of the solutions to the 2D Boussinesq equations for the flow of an incompressible fluid with positive viscosity and zero diffusivity in a smooth bounded domain. Our first result for global boundedness of the solution $(u, θ) \in D(A)\times H^1$ improves considerably the main result of the recent article [7]. Our second result on global regularity of the solution $(u, θ) \in V \times H^1$ for both bounded domain and the whole space ${\mathbb R}^2$ is a new one. It has been open and also seems much more challenging than the fi…
We prove local Lipschitz regularity for bounded minimizers of functionals with nonstandard $p,q$-growth with the source term in the Lorentz space $L(N,1)$ under the restriction $q<p+1+p\,\min\left\{\frac 1N,\frac{2(p-1)}{Np-2p+2}\right\}$. This extends the recent work by Beck-Mingione to bounded minimizers under weaker hypothesis and is sharp for some special ranges of $p$, $q$ and $N$.
We consider the dissipative SQG equation in bounded domains, first introduced by Constantin and Ignatova in 2016. We show global Holder regularity up to the boundary of the solution, with a method based on the De Giorgi techniques. The boundary introduces several difficulties. In particular, the Dirichlet Laplacian is not translation invariant near the boundary, which leads to complications involving the Riesz transform.
The present paper establishes a certain duality between the Dirichlet and Regularity problems for elliptic operators with $t$-independent complex bounded measurable coefficients ($t$ being the transversal direction to the boundary). To be precise, we show that the Dirichlet boundary value problem is solvable in $L^{p'}$, subject to the square function and non-tangential maximal function estimates, if and only if the corresponding Regularity problem is solvable in $L^p$. Moreover, the solutions admit layer potential representations. In particular, we prove that for any elliptic operator with $t…
We use the scale $B^s_τ(L_τ(Ω))$, $1/τ=s/d+1/2$, $s>0$, to study the regularity of the stationary Stokes equation on bounded Lipschitz domains $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 3$, with connected boundary. The regularity in these Besov spaces determines the order of convergence of nonlinear approximation schemes. Our proofs rely on a combination of weighted Sobolev estimates and wavelet characterizations of Besov spaces. By using Banach's fixed point theorem, we extend this analysis to the stationary Navier-Stokes equation with suitable Reynolds number and data, respectively.
We investigate the uniform regularity and vanishing viscosity limit for the incompressible chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system in a smooth bounded domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. It is shown that there exists a unique strong solution of the incompressible chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system in a finite time interval which is independent of the viscosity coefficient. Moreover, the solution is uniformly bounded in a conormal Sobolev space, which allows us to take the vanishing viscosity limit to obtain the incompressible inviscid chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system.
We establish sharp $C^{2s}$ interior regularity estimates for solutions of fully nonlinear nonlocal equations with bounded right hand side. More precisely, we show that if $I$ is a fully nonlinear nonlocal concave or convex elliptic operator and $f\in L^\infty(B_1)$ then \[ Iu=f\quad\textrm{ in }\quad B_1 \quad \Rightarrow\quad u\in C^{2s}(B_{1/2}). \] This result generalizes the linear counterpart proved by Ros-Oton and Serra and extends previous available results for fully nonlinear nonlocal operators. As an application, we get a basic regularity estimate for the nonlocal two membranes probl…
We prove optimal boundary regularity for bounded positive weak solutions of fast diffusion equations in smooth bounded domains. This solves a problem raised by Berryman and Holland in 1980 for these equations in the subcritical and critical regimes. Our proof of the a priori estimates uses a geometric type structure of the fast diffusion equations, where an important ingredient is an evolution equation for a curvature-like quantity.
In this paper, we study the uniform regularity and vanishing viscosity limit for the compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in three dimensional bounded domain. It is shown that there exists a unique strong solution for the compressible nematic liquid crystal flows with boundary condition in a finite time interval which is independent of the viscosity coefficient. The solutions are uniform bounded in a conormal Sobolev space. Furthermore, we prove that the density and velocity are uniform bounded in $W^{1, \infty}$, and the director field is uniform bounded in $W^{3,\infty}$ respectively. B…
We prove the optimal global regularity of nonnegative solutions to the porous medium equation in smooth bounded domains with the zero Dirichlet boundary condition after certain waiting time $T^*$. More precisely, we show that solutions are $C^{2,α}(\overlineΩ)$ in space, with $α=\frac1m$, and $C^\infty$ in time (uniformly in $x\in \overlineΩ$), for $t>T^*$. Furthermore, this allows us to refine the asymptotics of solutions for large times, improving the best known results so far in two ways: we establish a faster rate of convergence $O(t^{-1-γ})$, and we prove that the convergence holds in the…
We establish an $\varepsilon$-regularity result for the derivative of a map of bounded variation that minimizes a strongly quasiconvex variational integral of linear growth, and, as a consequence, the partial regularity of such BV minimizers. This result extends the regularity theory for minimizers of quasiconvex integrals on Sobolev spaces to the context of maps of bounded variation. Previous partial regularity results for BV minimizers in the linear growth set-up were confined to the convex situation.
We prove global Hölder gradient estimates for bounded positive weak solutions of fast diffusion equations in smooth bounded domains with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, which then lead us to establish their optimal global regularity. This solves a problem raised by Berryman and Holland in 1980.
Let $Ω\subset R^n$ be a bounded convex domain with $n\ge2$. Suppose that $A$ is uniformly elliptic and belongs to $W^{1,n}$ when $n\ge 3$ or $W^{1,q}$ for some $q>2$ when $n=2$. For $1<p<\infty$, we build up a global second order regularity estimate $$\|D[|Du|^{p-2} Du]\|_{L^2(Ω)}+\|D[ |\sqrt{A}Du|^{p-2} A Du]\|_{L^2(Ω)} \le C \|f\|_{L^2(Ω)} $$ for inhomogeneous $p$-Laplace type equation \begin{equation} -\mathrm{div}\big(\langle A Du,Du\rangle ^{\frac{p-2}2} A Du\big)=f \quad\rm{in }\ Ω\mbox{ with Dirichlet/Neumann $0$-boundary.} \end{equation} Similar result was also built up for certain bou…
We investigate the regularity issue for the diffuse reflection boundary problem to the stationary linearized Boltzmann equation for hard sphere potential, cutoff hard potential, or cutoff Maxwellian molecular gases in a strictly convex bounded domain. We obtain pointwise estimates for first derivatives of the solution provided the boundary temperature is bounded differentiable and the solution is bounded. This result can be understood as a stationary version of the velocity averaging lemma and mixture lemma.
We establish uniform with respect to the Mach number regularity estimates for the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes system in smooth domains with Navier-slip condition on the boundary in the general case of ill-prepared initial data. To match the boundary layer effects due to the fast oscillations and the ill-prepared initial data assumption, we prove uniform estimates in an anisotropic functional framework with only one normal derivative close to the boundary. This allows to prove the local existence of a strong solution on a time interval independent of the Mach number and to justify the…
We study gradient estimates of $q$-harmonic functions $u$ of the fractional Schr{ö}dinger operator $Δ^{α/2} + q$, $α\in (0,1]$ in bounded domains $D \subset \R^d$. For nonnegative $u$ we show that if $q$ is H{ö}lder continuous of order $η> 1 - α$ then $\nabla u(x)$ exists for any $x \in D$ and $|\nabla u(x)| \le c u(x)/ (\dist(x,\partial D) \wedge 1)$. The exponent $1 - α$ is critical i.e. when $q$ is only $1 - α$ H{ö}lder continuous $\nabla u(x)$ may not exist. The above gradient estimates are well known for $α\in (1,2]$ under the assumption that $q$ belongs to the Kato class $\calJ^{α- 1}$. …
We obtain Lipschitz estimates for bounded minimizers of functionals with nonstandard $(p,q)$-growth satisfying the dimension-independent restriction $q<p+2$ with $p \geq 2$. This relation improves existing restrictions when $p \leq N-1$, moreover our result is sharp in the range $N > \frac{p(2+p)}{2} + 1$. The standard Lipschitz regularity takes the form $W^{1,\infty}_{\text{loc}} - W^{1,p}_{\text{loc}}$, whereas we obtain $W^{1,\infty}_{\text{loc}} - L^{\infty}_{\text{loc}}$ regularity estimate and then make use of existing sharp $L^{\infty}_{\text{loc}}$ bounds to obtain the required conclus…
In the present paper, we study the uniform regularity and vanishing dissipation limit for the full compressible Navier-Stokes system whose viscosity and heat conductivity are allowed to vanish at different order. The problem is studied in a 3-D bounded domain with Navier-slip type boundary conditions \eqref{1.9}. It is shown that there exists a unique strong solution to the full compressible Navier-Stokes system with the boundary conditions \eqref{1.9} in a finite time interval which is independent of the viscosity and heat conductivity. The solution is uniform bounded in $W^{1,\infty}$ and a …
We consider bounded entropy solutions to the scalar conservation law in one space dimension: \begin{equation*} u_t+f(u)_x=0. \end{equation*} We quantify the regularizing effect of the non linearity of the flux $f$ on the solution $u$ in terms of spaces of functions with bounded generalized variation.
We here aim at proving the global existence and uniqueness of solutions to the inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes system in the case where the initial density is discontinuous and the initial velocity has critical regularity. Assuming that the initial density is close to a positive constant, we obtain global existence and uniqueness in the two-dimensional case whenever the initial velocity belongs to some critical homogeneous Besov space (and in small in the three-dimensional case). Next, still in a critical functional framework, we establish a uniqueness statement that is valid in the…
We obtain the Hölder regularity of time derivative of solutions to the dual semigeostrophic equations in two dimensions when the initial potential density is bounded away from zero and infinity. Our main tool is an interior Hölder estimate in two dimensions for an inhomogeneous linearized Monge-Ampère equation with right hand side being the divergence of a bounded vector field. As a further application of our Hölder estimate, we prove the Hölder regularity of the polar factorization for time-dependent maps in two dimensions with densities bounded away from zero and infinity. Our applications i…
We consider the regular Lagrangian flow X associated to a bounded divergence-free vector field b with bounded variation. We prove a Lusin-Lipschitz regularity result for X and we show that the Lipschitz constant grows at most linearly in time. As a consequence we deduce that both geometric and analytical mixing have a lower bound of order $t^{-1}$ as $t \to \infty$.
In this note we prove that, if the cost function satisfies some necessary structural conditions and the densities are bounded away from zero and infinity, then strictly $c$-convex potentials arising in optimal transportation belong to $W^{2,1+κ}_{\rm loc}$ for some $κ>0$. This generalizes some recents results concerning the regularity of strictly convex Alexandrov solutions of the Monge-Ampère equation with right hand side bounded away from zero and infinity.
We are concerned with local regularity of the solutions for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations near boundary. Firstly, we construct a bounded solution but its normal derivatives are singular in any $L^p$ with $1<p$ locally near boundary. On the other hand, we present criteria of solutions of the Stokes equations near boundary to imply that the gradients of solutions are bounded (in fact, even further Hölder continuous). Finally, we provide examples of solutions whose local regularity near boundary is optimal.
In this paper, we will prove a regularity criterion that guarantees solutions of the Navier--Stokes equation must remain smooth so long as the the vorticity restricted to a plane remains bounded in the scale critical space $L^4_t L^2_x$, where the plane may vary in space and time as long as the gradient of the vector orthogonal to the plane remains bounded. This extends previous work by Chae and Choe that guaranteed that solutions of the Navier--Stokes equation must remain smooth as long as the vorticity restricted to a fixed plane remains bounded in family of scale critical mixed Lebesgue spa…
