Differential Harnack inequalities for semilinear parabolic equations on Riemannian manifolds. I: Bakry-Émery curvature bounded below (Q6084174)

In this work, the author considers a semilinear parabolic equation on complete Riemannian manifolds with Bakry-Émery curvature. By constracting a method that transforms the problem of deriving differential Harnack inequalities into solving a related ODE system, they obtain differential Harnack inequalities for positive solutions of the considered problem. Moreover, under the Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature non-negative case, they prove some sharp differential Harnack inequalities, Harnack inequalities, Liouville-type theorems for logarithmic type and Yamabe-type equations.
