Concerning the regularity of the anisotropic porous medium equation (Q629230)

The author studies the anisotropic porous medium equation \[ u_t - \sum_{i=1}^N(u^{m_i})_{x_ix_i} = 0,\quad \text{in } \Omega_T = \Omega\times (0,T], \quad 0 < T < \infty, \quad \Omega \subset\mathbb R^N, \] where \(0 < \underline{m} \leq m_i \leq\overline{m} < \infty\) with \[ \underline{m} = \min_{1 \leq i\leq N}m_i, \qquad \overline{m} = \max_{1 \leq i\leq N}m_i. \] The main aim of the article is to show that a locally bounded nonnegative weak solution of the equation is locally continuous. The proof is based on DiBenedetto's technique called intrinsic scaling. By choosing an appropriate geometry, the energy and logarithmic estimates are deduced from which the author implements an iterative method to obtain the regularity result.
