Abstract: This article studies the partial H"older continuity of weak solutions to certain degenerate parabolic systems whose model is the differentiable parabolic p(x,t)-Laplacian system, �egin{equation*}partial_t u-operatorname{div}[mu(z)(1+|Du|^2)^{frac{p(z)-2}{2}}Du]=0,qquad p(z)geq2.end{equation*} Here, the exponential function p(z) satisfies a logarithmic continuity condition. We show that if mu(z) satisfies a certain VMO-type condition, then u is locally H"older continuous except for a measure zero set.


Main goal of the author is to study qualitative properties of weak solutions to certain degenerate parabolic systems whose model is the parabolic \(p(x,t)\)-Laplacian system. It is pointed out that the coefficients are discontinuous, and the vector field \(A(z, Du)\) exhibits nonstandard \(p(x,t)\)-growth conditions. Firstly, the author gives the characterization of the singular sets, then derives an estimate for gradients of solutions in \(L^p log^\gamma L \) space by using the higher integrability estimates. Moreover, the paper is devoted to the study of Poincaré-type inequality for the weak solution. Furthermore, is obtained an alternative characterization of the regular points from the Poincaré inequality. Finally, the author establishes the Caccioppoli-type estimate, which is a reverse Poincaré inequality, uses the A-caloric approximation method to derive a decay estimate and then, the proof of the partial regularity result is presented by using an iteration method.
