Regularity and uniqueness of the heat flow of biharmonic maps
In this paper, we first establish regularity of the heat flow of biharmonic maps into the unit sphere S ⊂ R under a smallness condition of renormalized total energy. For the class of such solutions to the heat flow of biharmonic maps, we prove the properties of uniqueness, convexity of hessian energy, and unique limit at t = ∞. We establish both regularity and uniqueness for Serrin’s (p, q)-sol...
متن کاملHeat Flow of Biharmonic Maps in Dimensions Four and Its Application
Let (M, g) be a four dimensional compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, (N, h) ⊂ R be a compact Riemannian submanifold without boundary. We establish the existence of a global weak solution to the heat flow of extrinsic biharmonic maps from M to N , which is smooth away from finitely many singular times. As a consequence, we prove that if Π4(N) = {0}, then any free homotopy class α ∈ [M,...
متن کاملOn biharmonic maps and their generalizations
Abstract. We give a new proof of regularity of biharmonic maps from four-dimensional domains into spheres, showing first that the biharmonic map system is equivalent to a set of bilinear identities in divergence form. The method of reverse Hölder inequalities is used next to prove continuity of solutions and higher integrability of their second order derivatives. As a byproduct, we also prove t...
متن کاملExistence results of infinitely many solutions for a class of p(x)-biharmonic problems
The existence of infinitely many weak solutions for a Navier doubly eigenvalue boundary value problem involving the $p(x)$-biharmonic operator is established. In our main result, under an appropriate oscillating behavior of the nonlinearity and suitable assumptions on the variable exponent, a sequence of pairwise distinct solutions is obtained. Furthermore, some applications are pointed out.
متن کاملEnergy identity of approximate biharmonic maps to Riemannian manifolds and its application
We consider in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maps to a Riemannian manifold with bi-tension fields bounded in L for p > 4 3 . We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of hessian energies by the sum of hessian energies over finitely many nontrivial biharmonic maps on R. As a corollary, we obtain an energy identity for the heat flow of biharmoni...
