Abstract

In this paper we consider viscosity solutions of a class of non-homogeneous singular parabolic equations

$ \partial_t u-|Du|^\gamma\Delta_p^N u = f, $

where $ -1<\gamma<0 $, $ 1<p<\infty $, and $ f $ is a given bounded function. We establish interior Hölder regularity of the gradient by studying two alternatives: The first alternative uses an iteration which is based on an approximation lemma. In the second alternative we use a small perturbation argument.
