Gradient Estimates For $Δu + a(x)u\log u + b(x)u = 0$ and its Parabolic Counterpart Under Integral Ricci Curvature Bounds

Abstract: In this paper, we consider a class of important nonlinear elliptic equations $$\Delta u + a(x)u\log u + b(x)u = 0$$ on a collapsed complete Riemannian manifold and its parabolic counterpart under integral curvature conditions, where $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ are two $C^1$-smooth real functions. Some new local gradient estimates for positive solutions to these equations are derived by Moser's iteration provided that the integral Ricci curvature is small enough. Especially, some classical results are extended by our estimates and a few interesting corollaries are given. Furthermore, some global gradient estimates are also established under certain geometric conditions. Some estimates obtained in this paper play an important role in a paper by Y. Ma and B. Wang [17], which extended and improved the main results due to B. Wang [29] to the case of integral Ricci curvature bounds.
