| In this talk we shall study the gradient flow associated with the Sobolev inequality, called the p-Sobolev flow, which is described as a doubly nonlinear degenerate and singular parabolic equation. In the case p=2 the p-Sobolev flow is related to the so-called Yamabe flow in differential geometry. We consider Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for the p-Sobolev flow, and we show a boundedness, a positivity, a regularity of the solution and the asymptotic behavior at infinite-time of the p-Sobolev flow. For the proof we study a local boundedness, the so-called positivity-expansion being valid for doubly nonlinear parabolic equations. Our global existence of the p-Sobolev flow is based on the scaling transformation intrinsic to the doubly nonlinear parabolic equation and this approach also eventually leads to an application to the finite-time extinction-behavior for the so-called fast diffusive doubly nonlinear parabolic equation. This is partially based on a collaborative work with Tuomo Kuusi in University of Helsinki, Finland and Kenta Nakamura in Kumamoto University.
