Abstract

Let (M,g(t))(M,g(t)), 0tT0\le t\le T, be a n-dimensional complete noncompact manifold, n2n\ge 2, with bounded curvatures and metric g(t)g(t) evolving by the Ricci flow gijt=2Rij\frac{\partial g_{ij}}{\partial t}=-2R_{ij}. We will extend the result of L. Ma and Y. Yang and prove a local gradient estimate for positive solutions of the nonlinear parabolic equation \1u\1t=Δuauloguqu\frac{\1 u}{\1 t}=\Delta u-au\log u-qu where aRa\in\R is a constant and qq is a smooth function on M×[0,T]M\times [0,T].
