Higher integrability for the singular porous medium system (Q2209454)

The authors establish in the fast diffusion range the higher integrability of the spatial gradient of weak solutions to porous medium systems. The result comes along with an explicit reverse Hölder inequality for the gradient. The novel feature in the proof is that a suitable intrinsic scaling for space-time cylinders (introduced originally by Gianazza and Schwarzacher) is combined with reverse Hölder inequalities and a Vitali covering argument within this geometry. The main result holds for the natural range of parameters suggested by other regularity results. This result applies to general fast diffusion systems and includes both, non-negative and signed solutions in the case of equations. Very interesting is the fact that the methods of proof are purely vectorial in their structure.
