Let Mn be an n-dimensional complete hypersurface in the (n + 1)-dimensional unitsphere Sn+1 with constant mean curvature H. Let {ei}i=1n be a local orthonormal basisof Mn with respect to the induced metric and {wi}i=1n be its dual basis of 1-forms. LetII=∑i,jhijwi(?)wj be the second fundamental form and H=(?)∑ihii be the meancurvature. Denote S=|II|2=∑i,j(hij)2 and |Φ|=(?).In this paper, we study complete hypersurfaces of the unit sphere Sn+1 with constantmean curvature H. As the main result, we will prove the followingMain Theorem. For each constant H, we define two positive constants B+(H) andB-(H) byThen we haveFor any B∈[B-(H),B+(H)], there is a complete hypersurface Mnâ†'Sn+1 withconstant mean curvature H, such that the corresponding function |Φ| satisfies the relationsup |Φ| = B(H).
