Inequalities for eigenvalues of operators in divergence form on Riemannian manifolds isometrically immersed in Euclidean space

Abstract: In this paper, we compute universal inequalities of eigenvalues of a large class of second-order elliptic differential operators in divergence form, that includes, e.g., the Laplace and Cheng-Yau operators, on a bounded domain in a complete Riemannian manifolds isometrically immersed in Euclidean space. A key step in order to obtain the sequence of our estimates is to get the right Yang-type first inequality. We also prove some inequalities for manifolds supporting some special functions and tensors.
