Abstract

Denote by Δ\Delta the Laplacian and by Δ\Delta_\infty the \infty-Laplacian. A fundamental inequality is proved for the algebraic structure of ΔvΔv\Delta v\Delta_\infty v: for every vCv\in C^{\infty}, D2vDv2ΔvΔv12[D2v2(Δv)2]Dv2n22[D2v2Dv2D2vDv2]\bigg| |D^2vDv|^2-\Delta v\Delta_\infty v-\frac{1}{2}[|D^2v|^2-(\Delta v)^2]|Dv|^2\bigg| \le\frac{n-2}{2}[|D^2v|^2|Dv|^2-|D^2vDv|^2] Based on this, we prove the result: When n2n\ge2 and p(x)(1,2)(2,3+2n2)p(x)\in(1,2)\cup(2,3+\frac{2}{n-2}), the viscosity solutions to parabolic normalized p(x)p(x)-Laplace equation have the Wloc2,2W^{2,2}_{loc}-regularity in the spatial variable and the Wloc1,2W^{1,2}_{loc}-regularity in the time variable.
