Calder\'on-Zygmund estimates for parabolic systems with $p$-growth and non-divergence data

We obtain Calder\'on--Zygmund estimates for weak solutions to nonlinear parabolic systems with polynomial $p$-growth and the right-hand side in non-divergence form. Our approach does not require differentiability of the vector field with respect to the gradient variable and provides a unified treatment of both the singular and degenerate regimes. In particular, we establish local higher-integrability estimates for the gradient of the solution under appropriate dependency on the integrability of the right-hand side.

Calder\'on-Zygmund estimates for parabolic $p$-Laplacian systems with non-divergence form right-hand sides

We establish local Calder\'on-Zygmund type estimates for weak solutions to nonlinear parabolic systems with $p$-growth and VMO coefficients. In particular, we prove that if the right-hand side belongs locally to $L^{\mu s}$, where the exponent $\mu$ depends explicitly on $p$, $N$, and a prescribed target exponent $s>p$, then the spatial gradient of the solution enjoys improved integrability $Du \in L^s_{\rm{loc}}$. The result provides a sharp transfer of integrability from the data to the gradient, consistent with the natural parabolic scaling, and recovers the optimal exponents in the linear case $p=2$. The proof combines intrinsic scaling techniques with a Calder\'on-Zygmund type iteration scheme.

Sharp gradient integrability for $(s,p)$-Poisson type equations

We prove local $W^{1,q}$-regularity for weak solutions to fractional $p$-Laplacian type equations with right-hand side $f\in L^r_{\mathrm{loc}}(\Omega)$. Assuming $p>1$, $s\in(0,1)$, and $sp'>1$, solutions belong to $W^{1,q}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\Omega)$ for the optimal exponent $q=q(n,p,s,r)$. We obtain quantitative local gradient estimates involving nonlocal tail terms. The optimality of $q$ is confirmed by a counterexample.

Global higher integrability for systems with $p$-growth structure in noncylindrical domains

We consider the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem to systems with $p$-growth structure with $1 < p < \infty$, whose prototype is \begin{equation*} \partial_t u- \operatorname{div} \big( |Du|^{p-2} Du \big) = \operatorname{div} \left( |F|^{p-2} F \right), \end{equation*} in a bounded noncylindrical domain $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. For $p> \frac{2(n+1)}{n+2}$ and domains $E$ that satisfy suitable regularity assumptions and do not grow or shrink too fast, we prove global higher integrability of $Du$. The result is already new in the case $p=2$.

Gradient estimates for the fractional $p$-Poisson equation

We consider local weak solutions to the fractional $p$-Poisson equation of order $s$, i.e. $\left( - \Delta_p\right)^s u = f$. In the range $p>1$ and $s\in \big(\frac{p-1}{p},1\big)$ we prove Calder\'on & Zygmund type estimates at the gradient level. More precisely, we show for any $q>1$ that \begin{equation*} f\in L^{\frac{qp}{p-1}}_{\rm loc} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \nabla u\in L^{qp}_{\rm loc}. \end{equation*} The qualitative result is accompanied by a local quantitative estimate.

On notions of $p$-parabolic capacity and applications

We consider different notions of capacity related to the parabolic $p$-Laplace equation. Our focus is on a variational notion, which is consistent in the full range $1<p<\infty$. For such a notion we show some basic properties as well as its connection to other notions of capacity presented in the literature, and to a certain parabolic version of the Hausdorff measure. As applications, we use the introduced variational notion of capacity to study polar sets and removability results for supersolutions.

H\"older regularity for degenerate parabolic double-phase equations

We prove that bounded weak solutions to degenerate parabolic double-phase equations of $p$-Laplace type are locally H\"older continuous. The proof is based on phase analysis and methods for the $p$-Laplace equation. In particular, the phase analysis determines whether the double-phase equation is locally similar to the $p$-Laplace or the $q$-Laplace equation.

Higher integrability for singular doubly nonlinear systems

We prove a local higher integrability result for the spatial gradient of weak solutions to doubly nonlinear parabolic systems whose prototype is $$ \partial_t \left(|u|^{q-1}u \right) -\operatorname{div} \left( |Du|^{p-2} Du \right) = \operatorname{div} \left( |F|^{p-2} F \right) \quad \text{ in } \Omega_T := \Omega \times (0,T) $$ with parameters $p>1$ and $q>0$ and $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$. In this paper, we are concerned with the ranges $q>1$ and $p>\frac{n(q+1)}{n+q+1}$. A key ingredient in the proof is an intrinsic geometry that takes both the solution $u$ and its spatial gradient $Du$ into account.

Supercaloric functions for the porous medium equation in the fast diffusion case

We study a generalized class of supersolutions, so-called supercaloric functions to the porous medium equation in the fast diffusion case. Supercaloric functions are defined as lower semicontinuous functions obeying a parabolic comparison principle. We prove that bounded supercaloric functions are weak supersolutions. In the supercritical range, we show that unbounded supercaloric functions can be divided into two mutually exclusive classes dictated by the Barenblatt solution and the infinite point-source solution, and give several characterizations for these classes. Furthermore, we study the pointwise behavior of supercaloric functions and obtain connections between supercaloric functions and weak supersolutions.

Continuity up to the boundary for obstacle problems to porous medium type equations

We show that signed weak solutions to obstacle problems for porous medium type equations with Cauchy-Dirichlet boundary data are continuous up to the parabolic boundary, provided that the obstacle and boundary data are continuous. This result seems to be new even for signed solutions to the (obstacle free) Cauchy-Dirichlet problem to the singular porous medium equation, which is retrieved as a special case.

Stability for systems of porous medium type

We establish stability properties of weak solutions for systems of porous medium type with respect to the exponent $m$. Thereby we treat stability for the local case as well as for Cauchy-Dirichlet problems. Both degenerate and singular cases are covered.

Supercaloric functions for the parabolic $p$-Laplace equation in the fast diffusion case

We study a generalized class of supersolutions, so-called $p$-supercaloric functions, to the parabolic $p$-Laplace equation. This class of functions is defined as lower semicontinuous functions that are finite in a dense set and satisfy the parabolic comparison principle. Their properties are relatively well understood for $p\geq 2$, but little is known in the fast diffusion case $1<p<2$. Every bounded $p$-supercaloric function belongs to the natural Sobolev space and is a weak supersolution to the parabolic $p$-Laplace equation for the entire range $1<p<\infty$. Our main result shows that unbounded $p$-supercaloric functions are divided into two mutually exclusive classes with sharp local integrability estimates for the function and its weak gradient in the supercritical case $\frac{2n}{n+1}<p<2$. The Barenblatt solution and the infinite point source solution show that both alternatives occur. Barenblatt solutions do not exist in the subcritical case $1<p\leq \frac{2n}{n+1}$ and the theory is not yet well understood.

Global higher integrability of weak solutions of porous medium systems

We establish higher integrability up to the boundary for the gradient of solutions to porous medium type systems, whose model case is given by \begin{equation*} \partial_t u-Δ(|u|^{m-1}u)=\mathrm{div}\,F\,, \end{equation*} where $m>1$. More precisely, we prove that under suitable assumptions the spatial gradient $D(|u|^{m-1}u)$ of any weak solution is integrable to a larger power than the natural power $2$. Our analysis includes both the case of the lateral boundary and the initial boundary.
