Continuity of the temperature in a multi-phase transition problem. III (Q6081434)

The authors establish local continuity of locally bounded weak solutions to a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation that models the temperature in multiphase transitions. The enthalpy allows for general maximal monotone graphs of the temperature. This paper is the third part of an ongoing project. In the previous papers, the authors dealt with monotone graphs having finite jumps and otherwise being affine (in a first paper [Math. Ann. 384, No. 1--2, 211--245 (2022; Zbl 1497.35079)]) and with monotone graphs having finite jumps and finitely many infinite derivatives (in a second paper). Here a further step forward is made, allowing for a much wider generality of the maximal graph. Remarkably, moduli of continuity can be estimated without an explicit form of the enthalpy.
