Abstract

We establish the local Lipschitz regularity in space for the viscosity solutions to the parabolic double phase equation of the form tudiv(Dup2Du+a(z)Duq2Du)=f(z,Du) \smash{\partial_{t}u-\operatorname{div} \left(|Du|^{p-2}D u+a(z)|D u|^{q-2}D u\right)=f(z, Du)} by employing the Ishii-Lions method. In addition, we obtain H\"{o}lder estimate in time which turns out to be sharp in the degenerate regime. Here, 1<pq<,1< p\leq q<\infty, and the coefficient a0a\geq 0 is assumed to be bounded, locally Lipschitz continuous in space, and continuous in time. Furthermore, the non-homogeneity ff is assumed to be continuous on Ω×R×RN,\Omega\times \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^N, and to satisfy a suitable gradient growth condition. We also establish the equivalence between bounded viscosity solutions and weak solutions, under appropriate additional regularity assumption on the coefficient a.a.
