It may very well be difficult to prove an eigenvalue inequality of Payne-Pólya-Weinberger type for the bi-drifting Laplacian on the bounded domain of the general complete metric measure spaces. Even though we suppose that the differential operator is bi-harmonic on the standard Euclidean sphere, this problem still remains open. However, under certain condition, a general inequality for the eigenvalues of bi-drifting Laplacian is established in this paper, which enables us to prove an eigenvalue inequality of Ashbaugh-Cheng-Ichikawa-Mametsuka type (which is also called an eigenvalue inequality of Payne-Pólya-Weinberger type) for the eigenvalues with lower order of bi-drifting Laplacian on the Gaussian shrinking soliton.
