In this paper, we consider a manifold evolving by a general geometric flow and study parabolic equation \[ (\Delta -q(x,t)-\partial_t)u(x,t)=A(u(x,t)),\quad (x,t)\in M\times [0,T]. \] We establish space-time gradient estimates for positive…

In this paper we give a description of the asymptotic behavior, as $\epsilon\to 0$, of the $\epsilon$-gradient flow in the finite dimensional case. Under very general assumptions we prove that it converges to an evolution obtained by…

In this paper we consider the non local evolution equation $$ \frac{\partial u(x,t)}{\partial t} + u(x,t)= \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}J(x-y)f(u(y,t))\rho(y)dy+ h(x). %\,\,\, h \geq 0. $$ We show that this equation defines a continuous flow in…
