Abstract
We study irregular double-phase parabolic equations with variable exponents and non-divergence data, ut−div(F(z,∇u)∇u)=f(z),z=(x,t)∈QT:=Ω×(0,T), under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here, Ω⊂RN, N≥2, is a bounded domain, T>0, F(z,∇u)=a(z)∣∇u∣p(z)−2+b(z)∣∇u∣q(z)−2 with given Lipschitz-continuous exponents p,q that satisfy a suitable balance condition. The nonnegative coefficients a(z),b(z) satisfy the inequality a(z)+b(z)>0 in QT, the space and time derivatives of a and b belong to Ld(QT) with some d depending on the data. If f∈Lσ(QT)for σ∈(2,N+2]andF((⋅,0),∇u0)∣∇u0∣r+2∈L1(Ω), where 0≤r≤K(N,σ,p,q) if σ<N+2, while r≥0 is arbitrary if σ=N+2, then the problem has a unique strong solution, for which we prove the global transfer of integrability from the initial data and the forcing term to the double-phase flux in the spirit of Calder\'on-Zygmund theory, higher integrability of the gradient, and the second-order space regularity: F((⋅,t),∇u(⋅,t))∣∇u(⋅,t)∣r+2∈L1(Ω) for a.e. t∈(0,T),∣∇u∣2(min{p(z),q(z)}−1)+r+s∈L1(QT) for every s∈(0,N+24),F(z,∇u)∣∇u∣2r+2∈L2(0,T;W1,2(Ω)). The results improve and complement the results in \cite{Arora-Shmarev-JGA-2026} and extend them to the full range r≥0.
