Abstract

The purpose of the this paper is to study the parabolic system u_t^{i} - D_α(a_ij^{αβ}D_βu^j) = -div f^i in the generalized Morrey Space L_φ^{2,λ} . We would like to understand the regularity of the solutions of this system. It will be shown that 1: if a_ij^{αβ} in C(Q_T) then Du in L_φ^{2,λ}, and 2: if a_ij^{αβ} in VMO(Q_T) then Du in L_φ^{2,λ}. Moreover we will be able to obtain estimates on the gradient of the solutions to the system, which will tell us about the regularity of the solutions.
