In this paper, we show that, for every biharmonic submanifold (M,g) of a Riemannian manifold (N,h) with non-positive sectional curvature, if, then (M,g) is minimal in (N,h), i.e.,, whereηis the mean curvature tensor field of (M,g) in (N,h). This result gives an affirmative answer under the conditionto the followinggeneralized Chen’s conjecture: every biharmonic submanifold of a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature must be minimal. The conjecture turned out false in case of an incomplete Riemannian manifold (M,g) by a counter example of Ou and Tang (in The generalized Chen’s conjecture on biharmonic sub-manifolds is false, a preprint, 2010).
