Unified approach to \(C^{1, \alpha}\) regularity for quasilinear parabolic equations (Q6111615)

The paper under consideration revisits the proof of Lipschitz regularity and spatial gradient Hölder continuity for parabolic \(p\)-Laplace equation. The main novelty of the \(C^{1,\alpha}_x \)proof is the unified covering argument where no distinction is made between the singular (\(p<2\)) and the degenerate (\(p\geq 2\)) case. The authors also prove a quantitative Lipschitz estimate. This estimate is also unified in nature meaning that the same estimate holds for both the singular and degenerate case. It is well known that for parabolic \(p\)-Laplace equations the regularity theorems display a split between singular and degenerate equations. This makes these proofs difficult and sometimes impossible to generalize to operators with more general growth assumptions such as \(p(x,t)\)-Laplacian or operators with \((p,q)\) growth mediated by a switching factor \(a(x,t)\).
