Estimates for eigenvalues of a clamped plate problem on Riemannian manifolds. (English) Zbl 1191.35192

Summary: We study eigenvalues of a clamped plate problem on a bounded domain in an \(n\)-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold. By making use of Nash’s theorem and introducing \(k\) free constants, we derive a universal bound for eigenvalues, which solves a problem proposed by Q. Wang and Ch. Xia [J. Funct. Anal. 245, No. 1, 334–352 (2007; Zbl 1113.58013)].
