Local estimates on two linear parabolic equations with singular coefficients (Q868757)

The paper deals with the heat equation with singular drift term \[ \Delta u(x,t)-b(x,t)\nabla u(x,t)-\partial_tu(x,t)=0,\quad (x,t)\in\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n\times\mathbb R \] and with its generalization, the linearized Navier-Stokes system \[ \begin{cases} \Delta u(x,t)-b(x,t)\nabla u(x,t)+\nabla P(x,t)-\partial_tu(x,t)=0,\quad (x,t)\in\Omega\subset\mathbb R^3\times\mathbb R,\\ \text{div\,}u=0,\;\text{div\,}b=0,\;b(\cdot,t)\in L^2_{\text{loc}}. \end{cases} \] In the first case, the author proves boundedness of the weak solutions for highly singular, supercritical data. In the second case regularity results are obtained for weak solutions with mildly singular data belonging to the Kato class of functions.
