Abstract: |
Let $e_\l(x)$ be a Neumann eigenfunction with respect to the
positive Laplacian $\Delta$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$
with boundary such that $\Delta\, e_\l=\l^2 e_\l$ in the interior of
$M$ and the normal derivative of $e_\l$ vanishes on the boundary of
$M$. Let $\chi_\lambda$ be the unit band spectral projection
operator associated with the Neumann Laplacian and $f$ be a square
integrable function on $M$. The authors show the following gradient
estimate for $\chi_\lambda\,f$ as $\lambda\geq 1$: $\|\nabla
\chi_\l\ f\|_\infty\leq C(\l \|\chi_\l\ f\|_\infty+\l^{-1}\|\Delta
\chi_\l\ f\|_\infty)$, where $C$ is a positive constant depending
only on $M$. As a corollary, the authors obtain the gradient
estimate of $e_\l$: For every $\l\geq 1$, it holds that $\|\nabla
e_\l\|_\infty\leq C\,\l\, \|e_\l\|_\infty$. |
