In the first part of this paper, we prove local interior and boundary gradient estimates for p-harmonic functions on general Riemannian manifolds. With these estimates, following the strategy in recent work of R. Moser, we prove an existence theorem for weak solutions to the level set formulation of the 1/H (inverse mean curvature) flow for hypersurfaces in ambient manifolds satisfying a sharp volume growth assumption. In the second part of this paper, we consider two parabolic analogues of the p-Laplace equation and prove sharp Li-Yau type gradient estimates for positive solutions to these equations on manifolds of nonnegative Ricci curvature. For one of these equations, we also prove an entropy monotonicity formula generalizing an earlier such formula of the second author for the linear heat equation. As an application of this formula, we show that a complete Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature and sharp L^p-logarithmic Sobolev inequality must be isometric to Euclidean space.
We describe the behavior of p-harmonic Greens functions near a singularity in metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincare inequality.
Families of hypersurfaces that are level-set families of harmonic functions free of critical points are characterized by a local differential-geometric condition. Harmonic functions with a specified level-set family are constructed from geometric dat
This paper is focused on the local interior $W^{1,infty}$-regularity for weak solutions of degenerate elliptic equations of the form $text{div}[mathbf{a}(x,u, abla u)] +b(x, u, abla u) =0$, which include those of $p$-Laplacian type. We derive an ex
We establish precise upper and lower bounds for the subelliptic heat kernel on nilpotent Lie groups $G$ of H-type. Specifically, we show that there exist positive constants $C_1$, $C_2$ and a polynomial correction function $Q_t$ on $G$ such that $$C_
We derive a priori second order estimates for fully nonlinear elliptic equations which depend on the gradients of solutions in critical ways on Hermitian manifolds. The global estimates we obtained apply to an equation arising from a conjecture by Ga
