In terms of this scale function, we give a general and sharp sufficient condition for the uniqueness of nonnegative solutions to hold. We also give a Tacklind type uniqueness theorem for solutions with growth conditions, which plays a crucial role in establishing our Widder type uniqueness theorem for nonnegative solutions. Our Tacklind type uniqueness theorem is of independent interest. It is new even for parabolic equations on in regard to growth rates at infinity of their lower order terms.

A delicate issue for constructing local-energy solutions resides in the identification of weak limits of nonlinear terms for approximate solutions in a limiting procedure. Indeed, such an identification process often needs the maximal monotonicity of nonlinear elliptic operators (involved in the doubly-nonlinear equations) as well as uniform estimates for approximate solutions; however, even the monotonicity is violated due to a localization of the equations, which is also necessary to derive local-energy estimates for approximate solutions. In the present paper, such an inconsistency is systematically overcome by reducing the original equation to a localized one, where a (no longer monotone) localized elliptic operator is decomposed into the sum of a maximal monotone operator and a perturbation, and by integrating all the other relevant processes. Furthermore, the general framework developed in the present paper is also applied to the Finsler porous medium and fast diffusion equations, which are variants of the classical PME and FDE and also classified as a doubly-nonlinear equation.

We show that this property is equivalent to the existence of nonnegative, nontrivial, bounded subsolutions to $\Delta W=\psi(W)$ for one, hence all, general nonlinearity $\psi$ which is only required to be continuous in $[0,+\infty)$, nondecreasing, with $\psi(0)=0$ and $\psi>0$ in $(0,+\infty)$. We also prove that it is equivalent to nonuniqueness of nonnegative bounded solutions to the nonlinear parabolic problems $u_t=\Delta\phi(u)$ with nonnegative, bounded initial data, for one, hence all, general nonlinearity $\phi$ which is required to be continuous in $[0,+\infty)$, locally Lipschitz in $(0, +\infty)$ and strictly increasing, including e.g.~equations of both fast diffusion and porous medium type. This strongly improves previous results of \cite{GIM}, that in the elliptic case were obtained for solutions only and assuming in addition that $\psi$ is \emph{convex}, strictly increasing and $C^1$ in $[0,+\infty)$, whereas in the parabolic case they were established assuming that $\phi$ is \emph{concave}, strictly increasing and $C^1$ in $(0,+\infty)$.

We introduce the notion of a dilation-critical singularity (DCS) of the initial data and show that such singularities always exist for a large class of supercritical nonlinearities. Moreover, we provide exact formulae for such singularities.

We characterize the $F$-concavities preserved by the Dirichlet heat flow in convex domains on ${\mathbb R}^n$, and complete the study of preservation of concavity properties by the Dirichlet heat flow, started by Brascamp and Lieb in 1976 and developed in some recent papers. More precisely: (1) we discover hot-concavity, which is the strongest $F$-concavity preserved by the Dirichlet heat flow; (2) we show that log-concavity is the weakest $F$-concavity preserved by the Dirichlet heat flow; quasi-concavity is also preserved only for $n=1$; (3) we prove that if $F$-concavity does not coincide with log-concavity and it is not stronger than log-concavity and $n\ge 2$, then there exists an $F$-concave initial datum such that the corresponding solution to the Dirichlet heat flow is not even quasi-concave, hence losing any reminiscence of concavity. Furthermore, we find a sufficient and necessary condition for $F$-concavity to be preserved by the Dirichlet heat flow. We also study the preservation of concavity properties by solutions of the Cauchy--Dirichlet problem for linear parabolic equations with variable coefficients and for nonlinear parabolic equations such as semilinear heat equations, the porous medium equation, and the parabolic $p$-Laplace equation.

In this paper we study qualitative properties of the initial trace of the solution $(u, v)$ and obtain necessary conditions on the initial data $(\mu, \nu)$ for the existence of solutions to problem (P).

Jointly with what we already know, i.e. that log-concavity is the strongest power concavity preserved by the Dirichlet heat flow, we see that log-concavity is indeed the only power concavity preserved by the Dirichlet heat flow.

A delicate issue for constructing local-energy solutions resides in the identification of weak limits of nonlinear terms for approximate solutions in a limiting procedure. Indeed, such an identification process often needs the maximal monotonicity of nonlinear elliptic operators (involved in the doubly-nonlinear equations) as well as uniform estimates for approximate solutions; however, even the monotonicity is violated due to a localization of the equations, which is also necessary to derive local-energy estimates for approximate solutions. In the present paper, such an inconsistency will be systematically overcome by reducing the original equation to a localized one, where a (no longer monotone) localized elliptic operator will be decomposed into the sum of a maximal monotone one and a perturbation, and by integrating all the other relevant processes. Furthermore, the general framework developed in the present paper will also be applied to the Finsler porous medium and fast diffusion equations, which are variants of the classical PME and FDE and also classified as a doubly-nonlinear equation.

Our main aim is to find upper and lower bounds for the rate of convergence to solutions of the Laplace equation with the same dynamical boundary condition as the diffusion coefficient tends to infinity.

As applications of our results to the hyperbolic space ${\bf H}^N$ we have: $\bullet$ The first Dirichlet eigenfunction on a ball in ${\bf H}^N$ is strictly positive power concave; $\bullet$ Let $\Gamma$ be the heat kernel on ${\bf H}^N$. Then $\Gamma(\cdot,y,t)$ is strictly log-concave on ${\bf H}^N$ for $y\in {\bf H}^N$ and $t>0$.
