Abstract:
{Let u be a non-negative solution to a
singular parabolic equation of p-Laplacian type
(1bounded below on a ball $B_\rho$ by a positive number M,
for times comparable to $\rho$ and M, then it is bounded
below by $\sigma M$, for some $\sigma\in(0,1)$, on a larger ball,
say $B_{2\rho}$ for comparable times. This fact, stated
quantitatively in Proposition Theorem1.1,
is referred to as the ``spreading of positivity'' of solutions
of such singular equations, and is at the heart of any
form of Harnack inequality. The proof of such a ``spreading
of positivity'' effect, first given in a paper by Chen and DiBenedetto,
is rather involved and not intuitive. Here we give a new
proof which is more direct being based on geometrical ideas.
