文摘In this paper, we derive W^(1,∞) and piecewise C^(1,α) estimates for solutions, and their t-derivatives, of divergence form parabolic systems with coefficients piecewise H¨older continuous in space variables x and smooth in t. This is an extension to parabolic systems of results of Li and Nirenberg [Comm Pure Appl Math, 2003, 56:892–925] on elliptic systems. These estimates depend on the shape and the size of the surfaces of discontinuity of the coefficients, but are independent of the distance between these surfaces.
