We establish higher integrability up to the boundary for the gradient of solutions to porous medium type systems, whose model case is given by

$ \begin{equation*} \partial_t u-\Delta(|u|^{m-1}u) = \mathrm{div}\,F\,, \end{equation*} $

where

$ m>1 $

. More precisely, we prove that under suitable assumptions the spatial gradient

$ D(|u|^{m-1}u) $

of any weak solution is integrable to a larger power than the natural power

$ 2 $

. Our analysis includes both the case of the lateral boundary and the initial boundary.

Keywords: Porous medium type systems, higher integrability, gradient estimates.
