On Hölder continuity of solutions of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations with weight (Q4939725)

This paper deals with the equation \[ u_t-\sum_{i=1}^{N}{\partial\over\partial x_i}a_i(x,t,u,\nabla u)=a_0(x,t,u,\nabla u),\quad(x,t)\in\Omega_T=\Omega \times(0,T), \] where \(\Omega \) is a bounded domain in \({\mathbb{R}}^n\), \(a_i:\Omega_T\times {\mathbb{R}}\times {\mathbb{R}}^n \mapsto {\mathbb{R}}\) are Caratheodory functions satisfying inequalities \[ \sum_{i=1}^{N}a_i(x,t,u,\xi)\xi_i\geq c_0v(x)|u|^\beta|\xi|^m+\varphi_0(x,t), \] \[ |a_i(x,t,u,\xi)|\leq c_1v(x)|u|^\beta|\xi|^{m-1}+\varphi_1(x,t), \] \[ |a_0(x,t,u,\xi)|\leq c_1v(x)|u|^\beta|\xi|^m+\varphi_2(x,t). \] Here \(m, \beta, c_i (i=0,1,2)\) are positive constants, \(\varphi_i(x,t) (i=0,1,2)\) are given nonnegative functions. The authors prove that in the case where \(m>2, \beta \neq 0\) and \(v(x)\in A_{1+m/N}\), any bounded weak solution of the equation is locally Hölder continuous in \(\Omega_T\) (the function spaces \(A_p\) was defined, e.g., in \textit{S. Chanillo} and \textit{R. L. Wheeden} [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci., IV. Ser. 15, No. 2, 309-340 (1988; Zbl 0688.35002)]).
