ELLIPTIC GRADIENT ESTIMATES FOR DIFFUSION OPERATORS ON COMPLETE RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS

摘要

In this note,we obtain the elliptic estimate for diffusion operator L=△+φ on complete,noncompact Riemannian manifolds,under the curvature condition C D(K,m),which generalizes B.L.Kotschwar's work [5].As an application,we get estimate on the heat kernel.The Bernstein-type gradient estimate for Schro¨dinger-type gradient is also derived.
