In this paper we establish a new on-diagonal lower estimate of heat kernels for connected, weighted, locally finite graphs. The result is then used to deal with the nonexistence of global solutions for a semilinear heat equation on locally finite graphs. Our results provide remarkable improvements to the work that was done recently by Lin and Wu (2017) [8,18]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let $$G=(V,E)$$ be a finite or locally finite connected weighted graph, $$\Delta $$ be the usual graph Laplacian. Using heat kernel estimates, we prove the existence and nonexistence of global solutions for the following semilinear heat equation on G We conclude that, for a graph satisfying curvature dimension condition $$\textit{CDE}'(n,0)$$ and $$V(x,r)\simeq r^m$$ , if $$02$$ , then there is a non-negative global solution u provided that the initial value is small enough. In particular, these results apply to the lattice $${\mathbb {Z}}^m$$ . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
