A new short proof of regularity for local weak solutions for a certain class of singular parabolic equations

Abstract: We shall establish the interior H\"older continuity for locally bounded weak solutions to a class of parabolic singular equations whose prototypes are \begin{equation} u_t= \nabla \cdot \bigg( |\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u \bigg), \quad \text{ for } \quad 1<p\<2, \end{equation} and \begin{equation} u_{t}- \nabla \cdot ( u^{m-1} | \nabla u |^{p-2} \nabla u ) =0 , \quad \text{for} \quad m+p\>3-\frac{p}{N}, \end{equation} via a new and simplified proof using recent techniques on expansion of positivity and $L^{1}$-Harnack estimates.
