This paper was inspired by recent work of D. Bleecker and J. Weiner [3]. The following results are typical examples of those we obtain in this paper.THEOREM. The first eigenvalue of the Laplacian for a compact n-manifold isometrically immersed in Euclidean space is bounded above by n times the average value of the square of the norm of the mean curvature vector. Moreover, if the eigenvalue achieves this bound, then the submanifold is actually a minimal submanifold of some hypersphere in the Euclidean space.(See the case r= 1 in Theorem A.)
