Abstract

In this paper, we estimate eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on surfaces of revolution. We first reduce our Laplace eigenvalue problems to the corresponding Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems. Two variational inequalities are then used to obtain lower-bound estimates for eigenvalues of the corresponding Sturm-Liouville problems. Based on the relationship between eigenvalues of the Laplace problems and the Sturm-Liouville problems, we obtain lower-bound estimates for eigenvalues of the mixed and Neumann problems of the Laplace operator (Theorem 1 and Theorem 2). Indeed, our estimate in the first case is optimal.
