Hölder continuity for a drift-diffusion equation with pressure (Q445005)

The authors consider the evolution equation \[ u_t + b\nabla u-\Delta u = \nabla p, \] where \(b\) is a divergence free vector and \(p\) is the pressure. By applying in a deep way an integral characterization of Hölder spaces due to Campanato, the authors are able to prove the Hölder continuity of the solution. In the case of remotion of pressure, DaPrato and his school, by using a different approach, studied the regularity in \(L^p\) spaces and in \(C^\alpha\) spaces in the case that the divergence of the drift term \(b\) is bounded. DaPrato's techniques seem to be not applicable in the case of the presence of pressure.
