Abstract: In this paper, we study the gradient estimate for positive solutions to the following nonlinear heat equation problem u_t-Delta u=aulog u+Vu, u>0 on the compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) of dimension n and with non-negative Ricci curvature. Here aleq0 is a constant, V is a smooth function on M with DeltaVleqA for some positive constant A. This heat equation is a basic evolution equation and it can be considered as the negative gradient heat flow to W-functional (introduced by G.Perelman), which is the Log-Sobolev inequalities on the Riemannian manifold and V corresponds to the scalar curvature.
