$C^{1+\alpha}$-regularity of viscosity solutions of general nonlinear parabolic equations

Abstract

We investigate the $C^{1+\alpha}$-regularity of solutions of parabolic equations $\partial_{t}v+H(v,Dv,D^{2}v,t,x)=0$. Our main result says that under rather general assumptions there exist $C$-viscosity and $L_{p}$-viscosity solutions which are in $C^{1+\alpha}_{loc}$. We allow $H$ to be just measurable in $t$ and for its principal part to have sufficiently small discontinuities as a function of~$x$. No Lipschitz continuity of $H$ with respect to $v,Dv$ is required.
