An interpolation method for deriving a priori estimates for strong solutions to second-order semilinear parabolic equations (Q2714716)

The author proves a priori estimates for strong solutions to semilinear parabolic equations and systems with singularities on the right-hand sides, under the conditions that there exists a first a priori estimate in the space of integrable functions. The model boundary value problem in the cylinder \(Q=\Omega \times(0, T)\) looks as follows NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\begin{cases} u_t-\Delta u=f(x,t,u) \quad & \;\\ u|_{t=0}= \varphi(x), & u|_{\partial Q}=0,\;\varphi(x)\in B_p^{2-2/p} (\Omega),\end{cases}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(B_p^s(\Omega)\) is a Besov space and the function \(f\) satisfies the Carathéodory conditions as well as the inequality NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\bigl|f(x,t,\xi) \bigr|\leq b_0(x,t) |\xi |^\mu+ b(x,t),\;b\in L_p,\;b_0\in L_q,\;1<p<q \leq\infty,\;\mu>1.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Let \(\|\cdot\|_W\) be a anisotropic Sobolev norm with the second-order derivative in the space variable and the first one in the time variable. The aim of the paper is to determinate the optimal exponent \(\mu\) under which the second a priori estimate \(\|u\|_W \leq C\) holds provided that the first one \(\|u\|_l\leq M\). The similar problem is regarded for the parabolic systems. To derive the estimates the author uses the interpolation method developed for the elliptic case by S. I. Pohozaev.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0952.00006].
