C^1-regularity for degenerate diffusion equations

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2089647



Abstract: We prove that any solution of a degenerate elliptic PDE is of class C1, provided the inverse of the equation's degeneracy law satisfies an integrability criterium, viz. . The proof is based upon the construction of a sequence of converging tangent hyperplanes that approximate u(x), near x0, by an error of order exto(|x−x0|). Explicit control of such hyperplanes is carried over through the construction, yielding universal estimates upon the C1--regularity of solutions. Among the main new ingredients required in the proof, we develop an alternative recursive algorithm for the renormalization of approximating solutions. This new method is based on a technique tailored to prevent the sequence of degeneracy laws constructed through the process from being, itself, degenerate.
