Almost everywhere Hölder continuity of gradients to non-diagonal parabolic systems

Manuscripta Mathematica volume 144, pages 51–90 (2014)Cite this article

Abstract

We present a local almost everywhere C 1,α-regularity result for a general class of p-nonlinear non-diagonal parabolic systems. The main part of the considered systems depends on space-time variable, solution and symmetric part of the gradient of solution. To obtain our result, we adapt for the symmetric-gradient case techniques developed for the full-gradient case by Duzaar, Mingione and coauthors.
