contents For the doubly-degenerate parabolic non-Newtonian thin-film equation $$ u_t + \text{div}\bigl(u^n |\nabla Δu|^{p-2} \nabla Δu\bigr) = 0, $$ we derive (local versions) of Bernis estimates of the form $$ \int_Ω u^{n-2p} |\nabla u|^{3p}\, dx + \int_Ω u^{n-\frac{p}{2}} |Δu|^{\frac{3p}{2}}\, dx \leq c(n,p,d) \int_Ω u^n|\nabla Δu|^p\, dx, $$ for functions $u \in W^2_p(Ω)$ with Neumann boundary condition, where $2 \leq p < \frac{19}{3}$ and $n$ lies in a certain range. Here, $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a smooth convex domain with $d < 3p$. A particularly important consequence is the estimate $$ \int_Ω |\nabla Δ(u^{\frac{n+p}{p}})|^p\, dx \leq c(n,p,d) \int_Ω u^n|\nabla Δu|^p\, dx. $$ The methods used in this article follow the approach of [Grü01] for the Newtonian case, while addressing the specific challenges posed by the nonlinear higher-order term $|\nabla Δu|^{p-2} \nabla Δu$ and the additional degeneracy. The derived estimates are key to establishing further qualitative results, such as the existence of weak solutions, finite propagation of support, and the appearance of a waiting-time phenomenon.
