Global existence for the p-Sobolev flow.

In this paper, we study a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation arising from the gradient flow for p-Sobolev type inequality, referred as p-Sobolev flow. In the special case p=2 our theory includes the classical Yamabe flow on a bounded domain in Euclidean space. Our main aim is to prove the global existence of the p-Sobolev flow together with its qualitative properties.
