Tóm tắt

In this paper we obtain the local Hölder regularity of the gradient of weak solutions for the general parabolic p(x, t)-Laplacian equations $$u_t-\text{div}\ \mathcal{A}\left( \nabla u, x, t \right)\,=\,\text{div} \left(|\mathrm{\bf f}|^{p(x, t)-2} \mathrm{\bf f}\right),$$ provided p(x, t), $${\mathcal{A}}$$ and $${\mathrm{\bf f}}$$ satisfy some proper conditions. More precisely, we shall prove that $$\nabla u \in C_{loc}^{0;\alpha,\alpha/2}(\Omega_T)\,\mbox{for some} \, \, \alpha \in (0, 1). $$
