Abstract: In this paper, we first prove a localized Hamilton-type gradient estimate for the positive solutions of Porous Media type equations: u_t=Delta F(u), with F(u)>0, on a complete Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below. In the second part, we study Fast Diffusion Equation (FDE) and Porous Media Equation (PME): u_t=Delta (u^p),qquad p>0, and obtain localized Hamilton-type gradient estimates for FDE and PME in a larger range of p than that for Aronson-B'enilan estimate, Harnack inequalities and Cauchy problems in the literature. Applying the localized gradient estimates for FDE and PME, we prove some Liouville-type theorems for positive global solutions of FDE and PME on noncompact complete manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, generalizing Yaus celebrated Liouville theorem for positive harmonic functions.
