We obtain pointwise estimates for solutions of semilinear parabolic equations with a potential on connected domains both of R n and of general Riemannian manifolds.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35K55,35K08,35K01
IntroductionWe are concerned with solutions of semilinear parabolic equations of the following type:( 1.1) where Ω ⊆ M is a connected domain on a complete Riemannian manifold, the potential V = V (x, t) and the source term f = f (x, t) are given continuous functions in Q T . Moreover, we suppose that f ≥ 0, f ≡ 0, while V can be signed. We consider both the case q > 0 and u ≥ 0, and that q < 0 and u > 0. The elliptic counterpart of equation (1.1), that is − ∆u + V u q = f in Ω, (1.2)
