Abstract. Let λ k (Ω) be the kth Dirichlet eigenvalue of a bounded domain Ω in R n . According to Weyl's asymptotic formula we haveThe optimal in view of this asymptotic relation lower estimate for the sums k j=1 λ j (Ω) has been proven by P.Li and S.T.Yau (Comm. Math. Phys. 88 (1983), 309-318). Here we will improve this estimate by adding to its righthand side a term of the order of k that depends on the ratio of the volume to the moment of inertia of Ω.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
