Abstract:

In this paper, we establish the local Hölder continuity of the spatial gradient of the solution $u$ to the parabolic obstacle problem with superquadratic growth. More precisely, we prove that \[Du\in C^{0;\alpha,\frac{\alpha}{2}}_\text{loc}~~~\text{for some}~\alpha\in(0,1),\] provided the coefficients and the obstacle are regular enough.
