We prove the doubling property of L-caloric measure corresponding to the second order parabolic equation in the whole space and in Lipschitz domains. For parabolic equations in the divergence form, a weaker form of the doubling property follows easily from a recent result, the backward Harnack inequality, and known estimates of Green's function. Our method works for both the divergence and nondivergence cases. Moreover, the backward Harnack inequality and estimates of Green's function are not needed in the course of proof.
In this paper we establish the \emph{space-like} strong unique continuation for nonlocal equations of the type $(\partial_t - Δ)^s u= Vu$, for $0<s <1$. The proof of our main result, Theorem 1.1, is achieved via a conditional elliptic type doubling property for solutions to the appropriate extension problem, followed by a blowup analysis.
In this paper, we establish stability of parabolic Harnack inequalities for symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms on metric measure spaces under general volume doubling condition. We obtain their stable equivalent characterizations in terms of the jumping kernels, variants of cutoff Sobolev inequalities, and Poincaré inequalities. In particular, we establish the connection between parabolic Harnack inequalities and two-sided heat kernel estimates, as well as with the Hölder regularity of parabolic functions for symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms.
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.
The author extends previous results to general classes of equations under weaker assumptions obtained in 2016 by Bao, Dong and Jiao concerning the study of the regularity of solutions for the first initial-boundary value problem for parabolic Hessian equations on Riemannian manifolds.
Classical results of second order parabolic quasi-linear equations always require that the nonlinear terms are controlled by a power of the unknown functions and their first derivatives. We improve the previous results. More precisely, in the present article the upper bound of nonlinear term can be extended to a power series.
Optimal second-order regularity in the space variables is established for solutions to Cauchy-Dirichlet problems for nonlinear parabolic equations and systems of $p$-Laplacian type, with square-integrable right-hand sides and initial data in a Sobolev space. As a consequence, generalized solutions are shown to be strong solutions. Minimal regularity on the boundary of the domain is required, though the results are new even for smooth domains. In particular, they hold in arbitrary bounded convex domains.
This paper is about elliptic and parabolic partial differential operators with discontinuities in the gradient which are compatible with a Finsler norm in a sense to be made precise. Examples of this type of problems arise in a number of contexts, most notably the recent work of Chatterjee and the second author [7] on scaling limits of discrete surface growth models as well as $L^{\infty}-$variational problems. Building on the approach of Ishii [16], new comparison results are proven within a unified framework that includes a number of previous results as special cases.
In this paper we consider parabolic problems with stress tensor depending only on the symmetric gradient. By developing a new approximation method (which allows to use energy-type methods typical for linear problems) we provide an approach to obtain global regularity results valid for general potential operators with $(p,δ)$-structure, for all $p>1$ and for all $δ>0$. In this way we prove ``natural'' second order spatial regularity -- up to the boundary -- in the case of homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The regularity results, are presented with full details for the parabolic setting…
In this paper, we consider the following symmetric Dirichlet forms on a metric measure space $(M,d,μ)$: $$\mathcal{E}(f,g) = \mathcal{E}(^{(c)}(f,g)+\int_{M\times M} (f(x)-f(y))(g(x)-g(y))\,J(dx,dy),$$ where $\mathcal{E}(^{(c)}$ is a strongly local symmetric bilinear form and $J(dx,dy)$ is a symmetric Random measure on $M\times M$. Under general volume doubling condition on $(M,d,μ)$ and some mild assumptions on scaling functions, we establish stability results for upper bounds of heat kernel (resp.\ two-sided heat kernel estimates) in terms of the jumping kernels, the cut-off Sobolev inequali…
