Higher integrability for parabolic systems with non-standard growth and degenerate diffusions (Q624801)

The authors prove a Meyer's type higher integrability for weak solutions of the parabolic system \[ u_t-\text{div}\,a(x,t,Du)=\text{div}(|F|^{p(x,t)-2}F) \] where the vector field \(a\) is assumed to fullfil a non-standard \(p(x,t)\)-growth condition. In particular, the authors prove that there exists \(\varepsilon>0\) depending only on the structural data such that \(|Du|^{p(\cdot)(1+\varepsilon)}\in L^1_{\text{loc}}\) and a local estimate for the \(p(\cdot)(1+\varepsilon)\)-energy.
