AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^{n}$ with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$. Let $X=(X_{1},X_{2},\cdots,X_{m})$ be a system of general Grushin type vector fields defined on $\Omega$ and the boundary $\partial\Omega$ is non-characteristic for $X$. For $\Delta _{X}=\sum_{j=1}^mX_j^2$, we denote $\lambda_{k}$ as the $k$-th eigenvalue for the bi-subelliptic operator $\Delta _{X}^2$ on $\Omega$. In this paper, by using the sharp sub-elliptic estimates and maximally hypoelliptic estimates, we give the optimal lower bound estimates of $\lambda_k$ for the operator $\Delta _{X}^2$.</p>
