Higher Hölder regularity for a subquadratic nonlocal parabolic equation

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the Hölder regularity for solutions of the nonlocal evolutionary equation${\partial }_{t}u+{(-{\Delta }_p)}^{s}u=0.$ Here, ${(-{\Delta }_p)}^s$ is the fractional p-Laplacian, $0<s<1$ and $1<p<2$. We establish Hölder regularity with explicit Hölder exponents. We also include the inhomogeneous equation with a bounded inhomogeneity. In some cases, the obtained Hölder exponents are almost sharp. Our results complement the previous results for the superquadratic case when $p\ge 2$.
