Hölder estimates for local solutions of some doubly nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations. (English) Zbl 0796.35089

The authors consider quasilinear parabolic equations with principal part in divergence form of the type \[ u_ t - \text{div} a(x,t,u,Du) = b(x,t,u,Du) \] in \({\mathcal D}' (\Omega_ T)\) where \(\Omega\) is a bounded open set in \(\mathbb{R}^ N\), \(0<T<\infty\), \(\Omega_ T = \Omega \times (0,T)\); here the functions \(a\) and \(b\) are assumed to be measurable and to satisfy several further (structure) conditions. Utilizing and generalizing results of O. A. Ladyzhenskaya, N. A. Solonnikov and N. N. Ural’tzeva as well as of E. Di Benedetto, the authors establish interior and boundary Hölder estimates for bounded weak solutions, e.g., for suitable Dirichlet and Neumann problems. [For related investigations, cf. also papers by A. V. Ivanov of the last five years, e.g., Algebra Anal. 3, No. 2, 139-179 (1991; Zbl 0764.35026)].
