In the paper, we first prove a Hamilton-Souplet-Zhang type gradient estimate for a positive solution to the nonlinear parabolic type equation partial derivative(t)u(x, t) = (Delta - q(x, t))u(x, t) + au(x, t) log u(x, t) on Riemaniann manifolds along the Ricci flow. These estimates optimize the obtained conclusions by Bailesteanu et al. (2010) and Li and Zhu (2018). Secondly, by using Han-Zhang's method (Han and Zhang, 2016) and Hamilton-Souplet-Zhang type gradient estimate, we establish some global and local upper bounds for the Hessian of log positive solutions of the nonlinear parabolic type equations along the Ricci flow. As an application, we deduce some space-only Harnack type inequalities for bounded positive solutions of the parabolic type equation. Once more, by using Li's method (Li, 1991), we also derive some second order gradient estimates. Finally, we derive L-2 estimates for log-solutions to the parabolic type equation on Riemaniann manifolds. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
