let denote the unit circle in the complex plane. given a function , one uses t usual (harmonic) poisson kernel for the unit disk to define the poisson integral of , namely . here we consider the biharmonic poisson kernel for the unit disk to define the notion of -integral of a given function ; this associated biharmonic function will be denoted by . we then consider the dilations for and . the ...

In geometry processing and shape analysis, several applications have been addressed through the properties of the spectral kernels and distances, such as commute-time, biharmonic, diffusion, and wave distances. Our survey is intended to provide a background on the properties, discretization, computation, and main applications of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, the associated differential equatio...

In this paper we review fourth-order approximations of the biharmonic operator in one, two and three dimensions. In addition, we describe recent developments on second and fourth order finite difference approximations of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The schemes are compact both for the biharmonic and the Laplacian operators. For the convective term the fourth order scheme invoke...

where τ( f ) is the tension field of f and dvg is the volume form of M. It is clear that E2( f |Ω) = 0 on any compact domain if and only if f is a harmonic map. Thus E2 provides a measure for the extent to which f fails to be harmonic. If f is a critical point of (1.1) over every compact domain, then f is called a biharmonic map or 2-harmonic maps. Jiang [10] proved that f is biharmonic if and ...

In this paper‎, ‎we prove a multiplicity result for some biharmonic elliptic equation of Kirchhoff type and involving nonlinearities with critical exponential growth at infinity‎. ‎Using some variational arguments and exploiting the symmetries of the problem‎, ‎we establish a multiplicity result giving two nontrivial solutions‎.
