Regularity in Sobolev and Besov Spaces for Parabolic Problems on Domains of Polyhedral Type

This paper is concerned with the regularity of solutions to linear and nonlinear evolution equations extending our findings in Dahlke and Schneider (Anal Appl 17(2):235–291, 2019, Thms. 4.5, 4.9, 4.12, 4.14) to domains of polyhedral type. In particular, we study the smoothness in the specific scale Bτ,τr,1τ=rd+1p\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\ B^r_{\tau ,\tau }, \ \frac{1}{\tau }=\frac{r}{d}+\frac{1}{p}\ $$\end{document} 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.
