Abstract: Let el(x) be an eigenfunction with respect to the Dirichlet Laplacian DeltaN on a compact Riemannian manifold N with boundary: DeltaNel=l2el in the interior of N and el=0 on the boundary of N. We show the following gradient estimate of el: for every lgeq1, there holds l|el|infty/Cleq|ablael|inftyleqCl|el|infty, where C is a positive constant depending only on N. In the proof, we use a basic geometrical property of nodal sets of eigenfunctions and elliptic apriori estimates.
