Abstract

Let (M,g ) be a compact immersed hypersurface of (Rn+1,<,>) , λ1 the first nonzero
eigenvalue, α the mean curvature, ρ the support function, A the shape operator, vol (M ) the volume of M,
and S the scalar curvature of M. In this paper, we established some eigenvalue inequalities and proved the
above.
