Abstract: | For a normal variation of a hypersurface M

by a normal vector field fN, R. Reilly proved:
where L
r
(0 < r < n – 1) is the linearized operator of the (r + 1)-mean curvature S
r+1 of Mn given by L
r
= div(P
r
); that is, L
r
= the divergence of the rth Newton transformation P
r
of the second fundamental form applied to the gradient , and L0 = the Laplacian of Mn.From the Dirichlet integral formula for L
r
new integral formulas are obtained by making different choices of f and g, generalizing known formulas for the Laplacian. The method gives a systematic process for proofs and a unified treatment for some Minkowski type formulas, via L
