Gradient estimates and entropy monotonicity formula for doubly nonlinear diffusion equations on Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

In the first part of this paper, we prove the sharp global Li‐Yau type gradient estimates for positive solutions to doubly nonlinear diffusion equation(DNDE) on complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. As an application, one can obtain a parabolic Harnack inequality. In the second part, we obtain a Perelman‐type entropy monotonicity formula for DNDE on compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. These results generalize some works of Ni (JGA 2004), Lu–Ni–Vázquez–Villani (JMPA 2009) and Kotschwar–Ni (Annales Scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure 2009).

Lower bound estimates for the first eigenvalue of the weighted p-Laplacian on smooth metric measure spaces

“…Instead of using the Laplacian, we use the linearized operator of the weighted p-Laplacian at the maximum point in this work. The linearized operator of the weighted p-Laplacian at point u ∈ C 2 (M) such that ∇u 0 is given by (see [37,38])…”

The concavity of p-Rényi entropy power for doubly nonlinear diffusion equations and L-Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities

“…This potential is just the pressure and the nonlinear speed-pressure relation can also be viewed as the âȂIJnonlinear Darcy's lawâȂİ [17]. Thus, the equation (1.13) can be equivalently written as 16) and the pressure function v satisfies the equation…”

Rigidity results for the $p$-Laplace type equations on compact Riemannian manifolds

“…Now, Let us state the main results of this paper. The first rigidity result is given by the method of carré du champ, which mainly depends on p-Bochner formula (see [7])…”
