Abstract

Motivated by an equation arising in magnetohydrodynamics, we prove that Hölder continuous weak solutions of a nonlinear parabolic equation with singular drift velocity are classical solutions. The result is proved using the space-time Besov spaces introduced by Chemin and Lerner (J Differ Equ 121(2):314-328, 1995), combined with energy estimates, without any minimality assumption on the Hölder exponent of the weak solutions.
