On global $L^q$ estimates for systems with $p$-growth in rough domains

We study regularity results for nonlinear parabolic systems of $p$-Laplacian type with inhomogeneous boundary and initial data, with $p\in(\frac{2n}{n+2},\infty)$. We show bounds on the gradient of solutions in the Lebesgue-spaces with arbitrary large integrability exponents and natural dependences on the right hand side and the boundary data. In particular, we provide a new proof of the global non-linear Calderón-Zygmund theory for such systems. Our method makes use of direct estimates on the solution minus its boundary values and hence is considerably shorter than the available higher integrability results. Technically interesting is the fact that our parabolic estimates have no scaling deficit with respect to the leading order term. Moreover, in the singular case, $p\in(\frac{2n}{n+2},2]$, any scaling deficit can be omitted.
