5 Harnack inequality for the heat equation
Lemma 5.1. Let fR g 2(0;1] be collection of measurable subsets of M R such that R 0 R if 0 . Fix m > 0, K > 0, 0 2 12; 1 and 0 < p1 < p0 1. Let u be positive measurable on R1. If

holds for all , 0 and p such that 12 0 < 1 and 0 < p p1 < p0, and if, moreover, for any 2 (0; 1),
jf(x; t) 2 R : ln u > gj KjR1j 1
holds for all > 0. Then there exists a constant C0 = C0(m; K; 0; p0; p1) > 0 such that Z

Proof. De…ne : [ 0; 1]! R by

(x; t)2 R1 : ln u ( )2 o ; then R = R ;1[ R ;2 and, for any (x; t) 2 R ;2,
u (x; t) e ( )2 : (1)
So, in this case, for any 0 < p < p0, applying Hölder’s inequality and by the de…nition of ,
Note that, by second assumption, we have

Solving

Since ( ) is always positive, the solution p to (5) can be choosen so that p < p0. Also, since ln ( )2K tends to 0+as K tends to ( )2 , the solution p to (5) can be choosen so that p p1 < p0 by enlarging K to be large enough. Therefore, (3) also holds for such p. Pluging (4) into (3), we obtain that

That is,

Note that the last inequality holds when ( 0) > 2K ( 0) 2m. Since ( 0) may by less or equal to 2K ( 0) 2m, together with the last inequality, we arrive at

Finally, iterating on (9) by choosing some > 1 so that 34 2m < 1 and letting i+1 =

where C0 = 24LK4e8K(1 0) 2m. Since L depends only on 0, p0 and K, we conclude that C0

Theorem 5.1. Let E be a ball of center x0 2 M and raius r > 0 in M. Let t0 > 2r2 and u be a positive solution to the Dirichlet heat equation on E [t0 2r2; t0]. If M has both VDC and WPI, then there exists a constant CH = CH (d0; P2) > 0 such that
sup
Q
u CHinf
Q+
u;
where
Q+= 12E t0 12r2; t0
Q = 12E t0 2r2; t0 32r2 ;
d0 and P2 are controlling constants in VDC and WPI, respectively. The inequality in this theorem is called the Harnack inequality.
Proof. Let a be the constant in Theorem 4.3 (see page 74). Since u is a positive solution (to the Dirichlet heat equation on E [t0 2r2; t0]), both e au and e au 1 are positive solution. Let t1 = t0 r2, then Q can be rewritten as Q = 12E t1 r2; t1 12r2 . Also, for any 0 < " < 1, we set
Q+;" = 12 + " E t0 12 + " r2; t0
Q ;" = 12 + " E t1 r2; t0 12 + " r2 :
Now, since e au is a positive solution on E [t0 2r2; t0], e au is a supersolution on E [t1 r2; t1]. By Theorem 4.2 and Theorem 4.3, we know that e au saties…es the conditions in Lemma 5.1 and thus

On the other hand, since e au 1 is a positive solution on E [t0 2r2; t0], e au 1 is a subsolution on E [t0 r2; t0]. By Theorem 4.1 and Theorem 4.3, we know that e au 1 saties…es the conditions in Lemma 5.1 and thus

e au 1 p0

or, equivalently,
"Z

Note that u 1 is a positive solution since u is a positive solution, so u 1 is a subsolution and thus, by Theorem 4.1, we have
sup

u 1 CM 1

which is equivalent to
"Z

u 1 p0

u 1: (4)
So, by (3) and (4), we get
CM1 jEj r2
1 p0 sup
Q+
u 1 eaC0;+ jEj r2
1 p0
or, equivalently,
sup
Q+
u 1 CMC0;+ea:
Note that supQ+u 1 = infQ+u 1, thus the last inequality becomes inf
Q+
u CM1C0;+1e a which is equivalent to
ea CMC0;+e2ainf
Q+
u: (5)
Finally, plugging (5) into (2), we obtain that sup
Q
u CRMC0; CMC0;+e2ainf
Q+
u
= CHinf
Q+
u;
where CH = CRMCMC0; C0;+e2a. Since CH is contant depends only on d0 and P2, we get the proof.
