Gradient weighted estimates at the natural exponent for quasilinear parabolic equations (Q2631944)

The paper deals with Calderón-Zygmund type regularity results in weighted Lebesgue spaces for parabolic equations of the form \[ \begin{cases} u_t-\mathrm{div}\,\mathcal{A}(x,t,\nabla u)= \mathrm{div}\,|\mathbf{f}|^{p-2}\mathbf{f} & \text{in}\ \Omega_T:=\Omega\times (-T,T),\\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial_p\Omega_T, \end{cases} \] where the nonlinearity $\mathcal{A}(x,t,\nabla u)$ is modeled after the $p$-Laplacian with $p>\frac{2n}{n+2},$ $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded domain with possibly non-smooth boundary, and $\partial_p\Omega_T$ is the parabolic boundary of the cylinder $\Omega_T.$ \par The authors prove two type of results. The first one asserts that \[ \mathbf{f}|\in L^q(\Omega_T)\ \Longrightarrow \ |\nabla u|\in L^q(\Omega_T)\quad \forall q\in [p-\beta_0,p] \] with the corresponding estimate, where $\beta_0$ is a small enough universal constant. The importance of this result is twofold: first, because the gradient estimate is obtained below the natural exponent $p$ and second, since no regularity of the coefficients is assumed which makes the the estimate non-perturbative. The technique employed is based on the Lipschitz truncation approach developed in [\textit{J. Kinnunen} and \textit{J. L. Lewis}, Ark. Mat. 40, No. 1, 105--132 (2002; Zbl 1011.35039)]. \par The second type of results establishes the implication \[ \mathbf{f}|\in L^q_\omega(\Omega_T)\ \Longrightarrow \ |\nabla u|\in L^q_\omega(\Omega_T)\quad \forall q\geq p\quad \text{and}\quad \omega\in A_{q/p}(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}) \] between weighted Lebesgue spaces with a Muckenhoupt weight $\omega.$ The novelty of the weighted estimates derived consists in the treatment of the limit case of the natural exponent $q=p.$
