Abstract: In this paper, we study generalized Schauder theory for the degenerate/singular parabolic equations of the form ${\displaystyle }$u_t = a^{i'j'}u_{i'j'} + 2 x_n^{gamma/2} a^{i'n} u_{i'n} + x_n^{gamma} a^{nn} u_{nn} + b^{i'} u_{i'} + x_n^{gamma/2} b^n u_{n} + c u + f quad (gamma leq1).${\displaystyle }$ When the equation above is singular, it can be derived from Monge--Amp`ere equations by using the partial Legendre transform. Also, we study the fractional version of Taylor expansion for the solution $u$, which is called $s$-polynomial. To prove $C_s^{2+alpha}$-regularity and higher regularity of the solution $u$, we establish generalized Schauder theory which approximates coefficients of the operator with $s$-polynomials rather than constants. The generalized Schauder theory not only recovers the proof for uniformly parabolic equations but is also applicable to other operators that are difficult to apply the bootstrap method to obtain higher regularity.
