Abstract

This paper considers a class of nonlinear, degenerate drift- diffusion equations. We study well-posedness and regularity properties of the solutions, with the goal to achieve uniform H\"{o}lder regularity in terms of LpL^p-bound on the drift vector field. A formal scaling argument yields that the threshold for such estimates is p=dp=d, while our estimates are for p>d+4d+2p>d+\frac{4}{d+2}. On the other hand we are able to show by a series of examples that one needs p>dp>d for such estimates, even for divergence free drift.
