Uniform boundary estimates for Neumann problems in parabolic homogenization

Abstract

For a family of second-order parabolic systems with periodic, oscillating and time-dependent coefficients, we establish the uniform boundary Hölder and Lipschitz estimates for Neumann problems in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] cylinders, respectively, by using the convergence rate method. Moreover, we establish the uniform [Formula: see text] estimates for initial-Neumann problems in [Formula: see text] cylinders for [Formula: see text] by using the real-variable method. As a by-product, we also obtain the Gaussian estimates for Neumann function and its derivatives.
