Gradient Estimates for a Nonlinear Parabolic Equation on Riemannian Manifolds

چکیده
Let (M, g) be a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we derive a local gradient estimate for positive solutions to a simple nonlinear parabolic equation ∂u ∂t = ∆u+ au log u+ bu on M × [0,+∞), where a, b are two real constants. This equation is closely related to the gradient Ricci soliton. We extend the result of L. Ma (Journal of Functional Analysis 241 (2006) 374-382).

Differential Harnack Inequalities on Riemannian Manifolds I : Linear Heat Equation
Abstract. In the first part of this paper, we get new Li-Yau type gradient estimates for positive solutions of heat equation on Riemmannian manifolds with Ricci(M) ≥ −k, k ∈ R. As applications, several parabolic Harnack inequalities are obtained and they lead to new estimates on heat kernels of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below. In the second part, we establish a Perelman type L...
متن کاملLOCAL GRADIENT ESTIMATES OF p-HARMONIC FUNCTIONS, 1/H-FLOW, AND AN ENTROPY FORMULA
In the first part of this paper, we prove local interior and boundary gradient estimates for p-harmonic functions on general Riemannian manifolds. With these estimates, following the strategy in recent work of R. Moser, we prove an existence theorem for weak solutions to the level set formulation of the 1/H (inverse mean curvature) flow for hypersurfaces in ambient manifolds satisfying a sharp ...
متن کاملThe Dirichlet Problem for Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations on Riemannian Manifolds
We study a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds and solve the Dirichlet problem in a domain with no geometric restrictions to the boundary under essentially optimal structure conditions. It includes a new (and optimal) result in the Euclidean case (see Theorem 1.1). We introduce some new methods in deriving a priori C estimates, which can be used to treat other ty...
متن کاملOn Estimates for Fully Nonlinear Parabolic Equations on Riemannian Manifolds
In this paper we present some new ideas to derive a priori second order estiamtes for a wide class of fully nonlinear parabolic equations. Our methods, which produce new existence results for the initial-boundary value problems in R n , are powerful enough to work in general Riemannian manifolds.
