Besov regularity of non-linear parabolic PDEs on non-convex polyhedral domains
This paper is concerned with the regularity of solutions to parabolic evolution equations. We consider semilinear problems on non-convex domains. Special attention is paid to the smoothness in the specific scale B^r_τ,τ, 1/τ=r/d+ 1/p of Besov spaces. The regularity in these spaces determines the approximation order that can be achieved by adaptive and other nonlinear approximation schemes. We show that for all cases under consideration the Besov regularity is high enough to justify the use of adaptive algorithms. Our proofs are based on Schauder's fixed point theorem.
