Abstract
In the present paper, we obtain gradient estimates for positive solutions to the following nonlinear parabolic equation under general geometric flow on complete noncompact manifolds $$\frac{{\partial}u}{{\partial}t}={\Delta}u+a(x,t)u^p+b(x,t)u^q$$ where, 0 < p, q < 1 are real constants and a(x, t) and b(x, t) are functions which are C2 in the x-variable and C1 in the t-variable. We shall get an interesting Harnack inequality as an application.
