We first establish the local pointwise gradient estimates when $q$ is subcritical, critical and supercritical with respect to $p$. With these estimates, we can prove the parabolic Liouville-type theorems for time-decreasing ancient solutions. Next, we use Gidas-Spruck type integral methods to prove the Liouville-type theorem for the entire solutions when $q$ is critical. Finally, as an application of the Liouville-type theorem, we use the doubling lemma to derive universal priori estimates for local solutions of parabolic equations with general nonlinearities. Our approach relies on a parabolic differential inequality containing a suitable auxiliary function rather than Keller-Osserman type inequality, which allows us to generalize and extend the partial results of the elliptic equation (Bidaut-V\\'{e}ron, Garcia-Huidobro and V\\'{e}ron (2020) \\cite{veron-sum}) to the parabolic case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-08-06T01:50:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "liouville-type theorem", "semilinear parabolic equations", "nonlinear gradient source", "gidas-spruck type integral methods", "derive universal priori estimates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
