Quadratic expansions and partial regularity for fully nonlinear uniformly parabolic equations

Abstract

For a parabolic equation associated to a uniformly elliptic operator, we obtain a W3,εW^{3, \varepsilon} estimate, which provides a lower bound on the Lebesgue measure of the set on which a viscosity solution has a quadratic expansion. The argument combines parabolic W2,εW^{2,\varepsilon} estimates with a comparison principle argument. As an application, we show, assuming the operator is C1C^1, that a viscosity solution is C2,αC^{2,\alpha} on the complement of a closed set of Hausdorff dimension ε\varepsilon less than that of the ambient space, where the constant ε>0\varepsilon>0 depends only on the dimension and the ellipticity.
