Boundary higher integrability for very weak solutions of quasilinear parabolic equations (Q1633080)

The authors prove boundary higher integrability for the (spatial) gradient of very weak solutions \(u\in {{L}^{2}}((-T,T);{{L}^{2}}(\Omega ))\bigcap {{L}^{p}}((-T,T);W_{0}^{1,p}(\Omega ))\) of quasilinear parabolic equations of the form \[ {{u}_{t}}-\operatorname{div}A(x,t,\nabla u)=0,\quad (x,t)\in \Omega \times (-T,T) \] \[ u=0,\quad (x,t)\in \partial \Omega \times (-T,T), \] where \(T>0\), the non-linear structure \(\operatorname{div}A(x,t,\nabla u)\) is modelled after the \(p\)-Laplace operator in a bounded domain \(\Omega \subset {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}\) with non-smooth boundary \(\partial\Omega\). Concerning the structure of the boundary of the domain, it is assumed that the complement of the domain \({{\Omega }^{c}}\) satisfies a uniform capacity density condition. The proofs technic are based on the Caccioppoli and Sobolev-Poincaré type inequalities as well as on the analysis of the associated strong Maximal function. As with regularity results concerning quasilinear parabolic equations, the intrinsic scaling and covering techniques are used also. Note that the results presented in this work are new even for linear parabolic equations on smooth domains.
