This is a prototype for more general doubly nonlinear evolutions which arise in mathematical models used to study various structural properties of materials. Under the assumption that the second derivatives of $F$ are H\\\"older continuous, we show that $D^2{\\bf v}$ and ${\\bf v}_t$ are locally H\\\"older continuous except for possibly on a lower dimensional subset of $U\\times (0,T)$. Our approach relies on two integral identities, decay of the local space-time energy of solutions, and fractional time derivative estimates for $D^2{\\bf v}$ and ${\\bf v}_t$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-19T03:43:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "doubly nonlinear parabolic systems", "partial regularity", "fractional time derivative estimates", "general doubly nonlinear evolutions", "lower dimensional subset" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
