Upper bounds on the first eigenvalue for the p-Laplacian

In this paper, we establish gradient estimates for positive solutions to the following equation with respect to the $p$-Laplacian $$\Delta_{p}u=-\lambda |u|^{p-2}u$$ with $p>1$ on a given complete Riemannian manifold. Consequently, we derive upper bound estimates of the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian.
