Abstract: We prove forward and backward parabolic boundary Harnack principles for nonnegative solutions of the heat equation in the complements of thin parabolic Lipschitz sets given as subgraphs $E=(x,t):x_{n-1}leqf(x^{″},t),x_n=0subsetmathbb{R}^{n-1}imesmathbbR$ for parabolically Lipschitz functions $f$ on $mathbb{R}^{n-2}imesmathbbR$. We are motivated by applications to parabolic free boundary problems with thin (i.e co-dimension two) free boundaries. In particular, at the end of the paper we show how to prove the spatial $C^{1,alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary in the parabolic Signorini problem.

Review text

In this interesting paper the authors study forward and backward boundary Harnack principles for nonnegative solutions of the heat equation in certain domains with thin Lipschitz complement. Such free boundaries are also known as thin free boundaries and are motivated by the parabolic Signorini problem.NEWLINENEWLINEThe boundary Harnack principles give the possibility of proving that the thin Lipschitz free boundaries have Hölder-continuous spatial normals, following the original idea introduced by We have to point out that the elliptic counterparts of the results in this paper are very well known; see Athanasopoulos and Caffarelli. The authors prove two types of boundary Harnack principles for parabolic equations: the forward one (also known as the Carleson estimate) and the backward one.
