A Harnack's inequality for mixed type evolution equations

Analysis of PDEs 2015-09-01 v1

Abstract

We define a homogeneous parabolic De Giorgi classes of order 2 which suits a mixed type class of evolution equations whose simplest example is μ(x)utΔu=0\mu (x) \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} - \Delta u = 0 where μ\mu can be positive, null and negative, so in particular elliptic-parabolic and forward-backward parabolic equations are included. For functions belonging to this class we prove local boundedness and show a Harnack inequality which, as by-products, gives H\"older-continuity, in particular in the interface II where μ\mu change sign, and a maximum principle.
