Abstract.
In this paper we establish the self-improving property of integrability for parabolic variational inequalities satisfying an obstacle constraint and involving possibly degenerate respectively singular operators in divergence form. In particular, our results apply to the model case of the variational inequality associated to the parabolic p-Laplacean operator. Thereby we do not impose any monotonicity assumption in time on the obstacle function.
