Parabolic gradient estimates and Harnack inequalities for a nonlinear equation under the Ricci flow (Q2660146)

The author proves parabolic gradient estimates of Li-Yau's type and J. Li's type for positive solutions to the nonlinear parabolic equation \[( \Delta-\partial t)u = (p +1)\frac{|\nabla u|^2}{u} +qu \] that describes a Riemannian metric evolving under the Ricci flow. The author uses these fundamental gradient estimates to derive the associated Harnack inequalities.
