As a Örst consequence we prove that the bounded weak solution becomes instantaneously a continuous function even if the initial datum is merely a discontinuous bounded function. Moreover the obtained estimates also prove the stabilization of the gradient of bounded weak solutions as t ! +1 for suitable initial data. %~
