Abstract

We consider the equation= Δp(u) with 2 ≤ p < d on a compact Riemannian manifold. We prove that any solution u(t) approaches its (time-independent) mean ū with the quantitative boundfor any q ∊ [2, +∞] and t > 0 and the exponents β, γ are shown to be the only possible for a bound of such type. The proof is based upon the connection between logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and decay properties of nonlinear semigroups.
