Abstract

We consider an evolutionary, non-degenerate, symmetric $p$-Laplacian. By symmetric we mean that the full gradient of $p$-Laplacian is replaced by its symmetric part, which causes a breakdown of the Uhlenbeck structure. We derive interior regularity of time derivatives of its local weak solution. To circumvent the space-time growth mismatch, we devise a new local regularity technique of iterations in Nikolskii-Bochner spaces. It is interesting by itself, as it may be modified to provide new regularity results for the full-gradient $p$-Laplacian case with lower-order dependencies. Finally, having our regularity result for time derivatives, we obtain respective regularity of the main part. The Appendix on Nikolskii-Bochner spaces, that includes theorems on their embeddings and interpolations, may be of independent interest.

Keywords:

Evolutionary systems of PDEs,
symmetric $p$-Laplacian,
local (interior) regularity of time derivatives,
iteration in Nikolskii-Bochner spaces.
