Description
Summary:博士 === 國立交通大學 === 應用數學系所 === 103 === Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold with infnite volume and ­ be a compact subdomain in M. In this thesis we obtain two upper bound estimates for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the punctured manifold M \ Omega ­ subject to volume growth and lower bound of Ricci curvature, respectively. The proof hinges on asymptotic behavior of solutions of second order differential equations, the max-min principle and Bishop volume comparison theorem.
