Lower bound estimates for eigenvalues of the Laplacian

Abstract

For an nn-dimensional polytope Ω\Omega in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, we study lower bounds for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian. In the asymptotic formula on the average of the first kk eigenvalues, Li and Yau (1983) obtained the first term with the order k2nk^{\frac2n}, which is optimal. The next landmark goal is to give the second term with the order k1nk^{\frac1n} in the asymptotic formula. For this purpose, Kova\v{r}\'{\i}k, Vugalter and Weidl (2009) have made an important breakthrough in the case of dimension 2. It is our purpose to study the nn-dimensional case for arbitrary dimension nn. We obtain the second term in the asymptotic sense.
