A lower bound for eigenvalues of the poly-Laplacian with arbitrary order

Qing-Ming Cheng, Xuerong Qi and Guoxin Wei

Vol. 262 (2013), No. 1, 35–47
Abstract

We study eigenvalues of the poly-Laplacian of arbitrary order on a bounded domain in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. We obtain a lower bound for these eigenvalues, significantly improving on that of Levine and Protter. In particular, the result of Melas (2003) is subsumed.
