Gradient estimates for a nonlinear equation on complete noncompact manifolds
Let be a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. We consider gradient estimates on positive solutions to the following nonlinear equation in , where , are two real constants and , is a smooth real valued function on and . When is finite and the -Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is bounded from below, we obtain a gradient estimate for positive solutions of the above equation. Moreover, under the assumption that -Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is bounded from below and is bounded from above,...
