Lemma 12 ([Interior estimate with an input]). Let U1 U2 be fixed bounded spatial domains and b0<b1<b , with b-b1 bounded above. Suppose that the coefficient assumptions of Lemma 11 ([Local Schauder estimates]) hold on U2×(b0,b) and that Lu=f there. Then Nα(u;U1×[b1,b)) ≤C(|f|α;U2×(b0,b) +\|u\|L2(U2×(b0,b)) ). The constant depends on the spatial gap, b1-b0 , the upper bound for b-b1 , and the coefficient constants, but requires no terminal trace. The estimate is unchanged if the upper face is included and the solution is defined there. In particular it holds on fixed nested annuli through an open upper time endpoint.

We recall an interpolation proof of the replacement of the supremum term. On three nested interior cylinders, with a gap of parabolic size a , the estimate already proved bounds \|D_zu\|_∞ and \|u_t\|_∞ on the middle cylinder by Ca^ -k (\|u\|_ ∞;outer +|f|_α) . Average u on a preceding cylinder of radius q<a/4 ending at the point being estimated. Its volume is a fixed multiple of q^ d+4 , so |u(z,t)|≤Cq^ -(d+4)/2 \|u\|_ L^2(outer) +C(q+q^4)a^ -k (\|u\|_ ∞;outer +|f|_α). Choose q to be a sufficiently small fixed multiple of a suitable power of a . The last supremum coefficient can be made any prescribed ϑ>0 , at the cost of another fixed inverse power of a on the other terms. Iteration over geometrically decreasing gaps, with ϑ smaller than the corresponding geometric growth factor, bounds the inner supremum by C(\|u\|_ L^2 +|f|_α) . Lemma 11 ([Local Schauder estimates]) on one further nested cylinder proves; finite covering handles U_1 and the time interval. All averaging cylinders use preceding times. First carry this out up to any closed upper face b'<b on which the local norms are finite, then let b' b . The constants use only the fixed lower time buffer. Pairs of points approaching b are included by this limiting argument.
