Abstract

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.
