Abstract: The paper pursues two connected goals. Firstly, we establish the Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate for the heat equation on a manifold $M$ with nonempty boundary. Results of this kind are typically used to prove monotonicity formulas related to geometric flows. Secondly, we establish bounds for a solution $abla(t)$ of the Yang-Mills heat equation in a vector bundle over $M$. The Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate is utilized in the proofs. Our results imply that the curvature of $abla(t)$ does not blow up if the dimension of $M$ is less than 4 or if the initial energy of $abla(t)$ is sufficiently small.
