摘要

By using conjugate and disconjugate theorems for second-order linear differential equations, we establish an improvement of the Myers theorem for complete Riemannian manifolds via m-Bakry–Émery Ricci curvature with \(\varepsilon \) ε -range. In contrast to the classical theorem of S.B. Myers (Duke Math. J. 8:401–404, 1941), our result does not always require non-negativity of the m-Bakry–Émery Ricci curvature in the whole manifold and is new even when the m-Bakry–Émery Ricci curvature is reduced to the Ricci curvature.
