Parabolic problems for direction-dependent local-nonlocal operators

Abstract

We study parabolic equations governed by integro-differential operators with nonlocal components in some directions and local components in the remaining directions. The setting contains the purely nonlocal, as well as the purely local case. Our approach is based on an energy method allowing for jumping measures that are singular or supported on cusps. In addition, the jumping measure may depend on the direction. The emphasis of our study is on the weak Harnack inequality and H\"older regularity estimates for solutions of such equations. The main regularity estimates are robust in the sense that the constants can be chosen independently of the order of differentiability of the operators.
