$\mathcal{A}$-caloric approximation and partial regularity for parabolic systems with Orlicz growth

Abstract

We prove a new $\mathcal{A}$-caloric approximation lemma compatible with an Orlicz setting. With this result, we establish a partial regularity result for parabolic systems of the type $$ u_{t}- {\rm div} \,a(Du)=0. $$ Here the growth of $a$ is bounded by the derivative of an $N$-function $\varphi$. The primary assumption for $\varphi$ is that $t\varphi''(t)$ and $\varphi'(t)$ are uniformly comparable on $(0,\infty)$.
