In this paper, we consider gradient estimates for positive solutions to the following nonlinear elliptic equation on a complete Riemannian manifold: $${\Delta}_Vu+cu^{\alpha}=0$$, where c, ${\alpha}$ are two real constants and $c{\neq}0$. By applying Bochner formula and the maximum principle, we obtain local gradient estimates for positive solutions of the above equation on complete Riemannian manifolds with Bakry-${\acute{E}}mery$ Ricci curvature bounded from below, which generalize some results of [8].

This note is motivated by gradient estimates of Li-Yau, Hamilton, and Souplet-Zhang for heat equations. In this paper, our aim is to investigate Yamabe equations and a non linear heat equation arising from gradient Ricci soliton. We will apply Bochner technique and maximal principle to derive gradient estimates of the general non-linear heat equation on Riemannian manifolds. As their consequence, we give several applications to study heat equation and Yamabe equation such as Harnack type inequalities, gradient estimates, Liouville type results.
