Abstract: We investigate the C1+alpha-regularity of solutions of parabolic equations partialtv+H(v,Dv,D2v,t,x)=0. Our main result says that under rather general assumptions there exist C-viscosity and Lp-viscosity solutions which are in Cloc1+alpha. We allow H to be just measurable in t and for its principal part to have sufficiently small discontinuities as a function of~x. No Lipschitz continuity of H with respect to v,Dv is required.


The author proves the existence of \(C^{1, \alpha}\)-regular \(L^p\)viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear second order parabolic equations like \[ \partial_t u + H(v, Dv, D^2v, t, x)=0 \] allowing the main part of H to have small discontinuities with respect to \(x\) and be just measurable in \(t\). Useful tool is the maximum principle, which reduces the matter to some specific estimates. The authors point out that, since they have to have sufficiently smooth solutions in the above argument, they use cut-off equations and finite-differences to avoid using third-order derivatives.
