contents This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue $λ(s)$, as $s\to+\infty$, for the following elliptic eigenvalue problem \begin{equation*}\label{E} -Δ_{M}u-s\langle \nabla_M f, \nabla_M u\rangle_g +c u=λ(s)u, \end{equation*} defined on an orientable and closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. Assuming $f$ is a Morse function defined on $M$, we find that the limit $\lim\limits_{s\to+\infty} λ(s)$ is determined by the minimum value of the function $c$ over the set of the maximum points of $f$, a result that is independent of the curvature of manifold.

This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue $λ(s)$, as $s\to+\infty$, for the following elliptic eigenvalue problem \begin{equation*}\label{E} -Δ_{M}u-s\langle \nabla_M f, \nabla_M u\rangle_g +c u=λ(s)u, \end{equation*} defined on an orientable and closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. Assuming $f$ is a Morse function defined on $M$, we find that the limit $\lim\limits_{s\to+\infty} λ(s)$ is determined by the minimum value of the function $c$ over the set of the maximum points of $f$, a result that is independent of the curvature of manifold.
