We prove a generalization of the Li−Yau estimate for a broad class of second order linear parabolic equations. As a consequence, we obtain a new Cheeger−Yau inequality and a new Harnack inequality for these equations. We also prove a Hamilton−Li−Yau estimate, which is a matrix version of the Li−Yau estimate, for these equations. This results in a generalization of Huisken’s monotonicity formula for a family of evolving hypersurfaces. Finally, we also show that all these generalizations are sharp in the sense that the inequalities become equality for a family of fundamental solutions, which however different from the Gaussian heat kernels on which the equality was achieved in the classical case.
Keywords: Differential Harnack inequality, monotonicity formula
