Interior Gradient Estimates for Nonuniformly Parabolic Equations II

Boundary Value Problems volume 2007, Article number: 035825 (2007) Cite this article

Abstract

We prove interior gradient estimates for a large class of parabolic equations in divergence form. Using some simple ideas, we prove these estimates for several types of equations that are not amenable to previous methods. In particular, we have no restrictions on the maximum eigenvalue of the coefficient matrix and we obtain interior gradient estimates for so-called false mean curvature equation.
