Hamilton's gradient estimates and Liouville theorems for ut=Δum+aulog u+bu on Riemannian manifolds
Abstract
In this paper, we apply Nash-Moser iteration and Saloff-Coste's Sobolev inequalities to derive gradient estimates for positive solutions to a class of nonlinear parabolic equations of the form ut=Δum+a(x, t)ulog u+b(x, t)u, 1−2/n<m<1 or 1<m<1+1/(1+√(2n)), on a complete Riemannian manifold (M,g) of dimension n, where $a(x, t)$, $b(x, t)$ are C1 functions. For a=b=0, this equation becomes the porous medium equation (PME) or the fast diffusion equation (FDE) when m>1 or m<1, respectively. As consequences, we obtain Liouville type theorems for the corresponding constant coefficient equations when 1−1/(√(n−1))<m<1 and 1<m<1+1/(√(n−1)).

For a=b=0, this equation becomes the porous medium equation (PME) or the fast diffusion equation (FDE) when m>1 or m<1, respectively. As consequences, we obtain Liouville type theorems for the corresponding constant coefficient equations when 1−1/(√(n−1))<m<1 and 1<m<1+1/(√(n−1)).
