In this paper, we consider eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator on a bounded domain in a hyperbolic space. We obtain universal bounds on the $(k+1)$th eigenvalue in terms of the first $k$th eigenvalue independent of the domains.
In this paper, we establish universal inequalities for eigenvalues of the clamped plate problem on compact submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, of spheres and of real, complex and quaternionic projective spaces. We also prove similar results for the biharmonic operator on domains of Riemannian manifolds admitting spherical eigenmaps (this includes the compact homogeneous Riemannian spaces) and nally on domains of the hyperbolic space.
We introduce the biharmonic Steklov problem on differential forms by considering suitable boundary conditions. We characterize its smallest eigenvalue and prove elementary properties of the spectrum. We obtain various estimates for the first eigenvalue, some of which involve eigenvalues of other problems such as the Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin and Steklov ones. Independently, new inequalities relating the eigenvalues of the latter problems are proved.
In this paper, by a new method we establish the Weyl-type asymptotic formula for the counting function of biharmonic Stekloff eigenvalues with Neumann boundary condition in a bounded domain of an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold.
For the biharmonic Steklov eigenvalue problem considered in this paper, we show that among all bounded Euclidean domains of class $C^{1}$ with fixed measure, the ball maximizes the first positive eigenvalue.
In this paper, we prove some isoperimetric bounds for lower order eigenvalues of the Wentzell-Laplace operator on bounded domains of a Euclidean space or a Hadamard manifold, of the Laplacian on closed hypersurfaces of a Euclidean space or a Hadamard manifold, and of a biharmonic Steklov problem on bounded domains of a Euclidean space. Especially, interesting rigidity results can be obtained if sharp bounds were achieved.
Let $\om $ be a bounded domain in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\Bbb R^n$. We study eigenvalues of an eigenvalue problem of a system of elliptic equations: $$ \{\aligned &Δ{\mathbf u}+ α{\rm grad}(\text{div}{\mathbf u})=-σ{\mathbf u}, \ \text{in $Ω$}, &{\mathbf u}|_{\partial Ω}={\mathbf 0}. \aligned . $$ Estimates for eigenvalues of the above eigenvalue problem are obtained. Furthermore, we obtain an upper bound on the $(k+1)^{\text{th}}$ eigenvalue $σ_{k+1}$. We also obtain sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue of two kinds of eigenvalue problems of the biharmonic operator on compa…
Let $Ω$ be a bounded domain with $C^\infty$ boundary in an $n$-dimensional $C^\infty$ Riemannian manifold, and let $\varrho$ be a non-negative bounded function defined on $\partial Ω$. It is well-known that for the biharmonic equation $Δ^2 u=0$ in $Ω$ with the 0-Dirichlet boundary condition, there exists an infinite set $\{u_k\}$ of biharmonic functions in $Ω$ with positive eigenvalues $\{λ_k\}$ satisfying $Δu_k+ λ_k \varrho \frac{\partial u_k}{\partial ν}=0$ on the boundary $\partial Ω$. In this paper, we give the Weyl-type asymptotic formula with a sharp remainder estimate for the counting f…
We consider a complete biharmonic hypersurface with nowhere zero mean curvature vector field $ϕ:(M^m,g)\rightarrow (S^{m+1},h)$ in a sphere. If the squared norm of the second fundamental form $B$ is bounded from above by m, and $\int_M H^{- p }dv_g<\infty$, for some $0<p<\infty$, then the mean curvature is constant.
Our paper is an attempt to to verify the Chen's conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds and to classify biconservative submanifolds. In doing so we provide an affirmative answer to Chen's conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds. We prove that every biconservative Lorentz hypersurface $M_{1}^{n}$ in $\mathbb{E}_{1}^{n+1}$ having complex eigenvalues has constant mean curvature. Moreover, every biharmonic Lorentz hypersurface $M_{1}^{n}$ having complex eigenvalues in $\mathbb{E}_{1}^{n+1}$ must be minimal.
We consider a complete biharmonic submanifold $ϕ:(M,g)\rightarrow (N,h)$ in a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded from above by a non-negative constant $c$. Assume that the mean curvature is bounded from below by $\sqrt c$. If (i) $\int_M (|{\bf H}|^2-c)^{p}dv_g<\infty$, for some $0<p<\infty$, or (ii) the Ricci curvature of $M$ is bounded from below, then the mean curvature is $\sqrt c$. Furthermore, if $M$ is compact, then we obtain the same result without the assumption (i) or (ii).
We prove Li-Yau-Kröger type bounds for Neumann-type eigenvalues of the poly-harmonic operator and of the biharmonic operator on bounded domains in a Euclidean space. We also prove sharp estimates for lower order eigenvalues of a biharmonic Steklov problem and of the Laplacian, which directly implies two sharp Reilly-type inequalities for the corresponding first nonzero eigenvalue.
For a sequence of extrinsic or intrinsic biharmonic maps $u_j: M_j\rightarrow N$ from a sequence of non-collapsed degenerating closed Einstein 4-manifolds $(M_j,g_j)$ with bounded Einstein constants, bounded diameters and bounded $L^2$ curvature energy into a compact Riemannian manifold $(N,h)$ with uniformly bounded biharmonic energy, we establish a compactness theory modular finitely many bubbles, which are finite energy biharmonic maps from $\mathbb{R}^4$, or from $\mathbb{R}^4 / Γ$ for some nontrivial finite group $Γ\subset SO(4)$, or from some complete, noncompact, Ricci flat, non-flat AL…
We prove a Liouville-type theorem for biharmonic maps from a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension \(n\) that has a lower bound on its Ricci curvature and positive injectivity radius into a Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvature is bounded from above. Under these geometric assumptions we show that if the $L^p$-norm of the tension field is bounded and the $n$-energy of the map is sufficiently small then every biharmonic map must be harmonic, where \(2<p<n\).
We study entire solutions of the biharmonic heat equation on complete Riemannian manifolds without boundary. We provide exponential decay estimates for the biharmonic heat kernel under assumptions on the lower bound of Ricci curvature and noncollapsing of unit balls. And we prove a uniqueness criteria for the Cauchy problem. As corollaries we prove the conservation law for the biharmonic heat kernel and a uniform L-infinite estimate for entire solutions starting with bounded initial data.
We consider in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maps to a Riemannian manifold with bi-tension fields bounded in $L^p$ for $p>\frac43$. We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of hessian energies by the sum of hessian energies over finitely many nontrivial biharmonic maps on $\mathbb R^4$. As a corollary, we obtain an energy identity for the heat flow of biharmonic maps at time infinity.
We study a Dirichlet-to-Neumann eigenvalue problem for differential forms on a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. This problem is a natural generalization of the classical Steklov problem on functions. We derive a number of upper and lower bounds for the first eigenvalue in several contexts: many of these estimates will be sharp, and for some of them we characterize equality. We also relate these new eigenvalues with those of other operators, like the Hodge Laplacian or the biharmonic Steklov operator.
We study eigenvalues of polyharmonic operators on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty). In particular, we prove a universal inequality for the eigenvalues of the polyharmonic operators on compact domains in a Euclidean space. This inequality controls the $k$th eigenvalue by the lower eigenvalues, independently of the particular geometry of the domain. Our inequality is sharper than the known Payne-Pólya-Weinberg type inequality and also covers the important Yang inequality on eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian. We also prove universal inequalities for the lower order…
Let N be a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension n+1 whose Riemannian metric g is conformally equivalent to a metric with non-negative Ricci curvature. The normalized Steklov eigenvalues of a bounded domain in N are bounded above in terms of the isoperimetric ratio of the domain. Consequently, the normalized Steklov eigenvalues of a bounded domain in Euclidean space, hyperbolic space or a standard hemisphere are uniformly bounded above. On a compact surface with boundary, the normalized Steklov eigenvalues are uniformly bounded above in terms of the genus. We also obtain a relationship bet…
We study the Robin eigenvalue problem for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds. Our first result is a comparison theorem for the second Robin eigenvalue on geodesic balls in manifolds whose sectional curvatures are bounded from above. Our second result asserts that geodesic balls in nonpositively curved space forms maximize the second Robin eigenvalue among bounded domains of the same volume.
We provide an explicit construction of a sequence of closed surfaces with uniform bounds on the diameter and on $L^p$ norms of the curvature, but without a positive lower bound on the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian $λ_1$. This example shows that the assumption of smallness of the $L^p$ norm of the curvature is a necessary condition to derive Lichnerowicz and Zhong-Yang type estimates under integral curvature conditions.
Given a closed Riemannian manifold of dimenion less than eight, we prove a compactness result for the space of closed, embedded minimal hypersurfaces satisfying a volume bound and a uniform lower bound on the first eigenvalue of the stability operator. When the latter assumption is replaced by a uniform lower bound on the p-th Jacobi eigenvalue for p greater or equal than 2 one gains strong convergence to a smooth limit submanifold away from at most p-1 points.
Let $Ω$ be a star-shaped bounded domain in $(\mathbb{S}^{n}, ds^{2})$ with smooth boundary. In this article, we give a sharp lower bound for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Steklov eigenvalue problem in $Ω.$ This result is the generalization of a result given by Kuttler and Sigillito for a star-shaped bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2.$ Further we also obtain a two sided bound for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Steklov problem on the ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with rotationally invariant metric and with bounded radial curvature.
Let $Ω$ be a bounded domain with convex boundary in a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive constant. We prove a lower bound of the first eigenvalue of the weighted Laplacian for closed embedded $f$-minimal hypersurfaces contained in $Ω$. Using this estimate, we prove a compactness theorem for the space of closed embedded $f$-minimal surfaces with the uniform upper bounds of genus and diameter in a complete $3$-manifold with Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive constant and admitting an exhaustion by bounded doma…
In this article, we prove an isoperimetric inequality for the harmonic mean of the first $(n-1)$ nonzero Steklov eigenvalues on bounded domains in $n$-dimensional Hyperbolic space. Our approach to prove this result also gives a similar inequality for the first $n$ nonzero Steklov eigenvalues on bounded domains in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space.

On closed Riemannian manifolds with Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded from below and bounded gradient of the potential function, we obtain lower bounds for all positive eigenvalues of the Beltrami-Laplacian instead of the drifted Laplacian. The lower bound of the $k$th eigenvalue depends on $k$, Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature lower bound, the gradient bound of the potential function, and the dimension and diameter upper bound of the manifold, but the volume of the manifold is not involved. Especially, these results apply to closed manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below.
