Most of the problems in differential geometry can be reduced to problems in differential equations and differential inequalities on Riemannian manifolds. Our main purpose of this paper is to study such differential inequalities on complete Riemannian manifolds. In [5], H. Omori proved a very important theorem. S. Y. Cheng and S. T. Yau gave a simplification and a generalization of it which was called the generalized maximum principle in [2] and [7], and many interesting applications in differential geometry in [2], [3], [7], and [8].
