Global existence for the \(p\)-Sobolev flow (Q2227233)

The authors study a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation arising from the gradient flow for a $p$-Sobolev-type inequality, referred to as $p$-Sobolev flow. In the special case $p=2$, their results include the classical Yamabe flow on a bounded domain in the Euclidean space. They prove the global existence of the $p$-Sobolev flow that is established by applying a nonlinear intrinsic scaling transformation and a deep and subtle argument of expansion of positivity.
