We study the behavior for t small and positive of C2,1 nonnegative solutions u(x,t) and v(x,t) of the system 0≤ ut-Δu≤ vλ 0≤ vt-Δv≤ uσ in Ω× (0,1), where λ and σ are nonnegative constants and Ω is an open subset of \mathbb Rn, n≥ 1. We provide optimal conditions on λ and σ such that solutions of this system satisfy pointwise bounds in compact subsets of Ω as t→ 0+. Our approach relies on new pointwise bounds for nonlinear heat potentials which are the parabolic analog of similar bounds for nonlinear Riesz potentials.
