Synopsis

We establish upper and lower bounds for various norms of solutions and their gradients for the equation ut = div (|∇u|m−1 ∇u) in ℝN in terms of the norms of the initial data. Based on the L∞ estimate of ∇u, we conclude that u(x, t) is Lipschitz continuous in space-time, for all t>0, whenever u(x,0) is in L1(ℝN).
