Abstract

In this paper, we study parabolic equations in divergence form with coefficients that are singular degenerate as some Muckenhoupt weight functions in one spatial variable. Under certain conditions, weighted reverse H\"{o}lder's inequalities are established. Lipschitz estimates for weak solutions are proved for homogeneous equations with singular degenerate coefficients depending only on one spatial variable. These estimates are then used to establish interior, boundary, and global weighted estimates of Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund type for weak solutions, assuming that the coefficients are partially VMO (vanishing mean oscillations) with respect to the considered weights. The solvability in weighted Sobolev spaces is also achieved. Our results are new even for elliptic equations, and non-trivially extend known results for uniformly elliptic and parabolic equations. The results are also useful in the study of fractional elliptic and parabolic equations with measurable coefficients.
