In this paper, we study biharmonic maps into Sol and Nil spaces, two model spaces of Thurston's 3-dimensional geometries. We characterize non-geodesic biharmonic curves in Sol space and prove that there exists no non-geodesic biharmonic helix in Sol space. We also show that a linear map from a Eu-clidean space into Sol or Nil space is biharmonic if and only if it is a harmonic map, and give a c...

Microcantilever biosensors in the static operation mode translate molecular recognition into a surface stress signal. Surface stress is derived from the nanomechanical cantilever bending by applying Stoney's equation, derived more than 100 years ago. This equation ignores the clamping effect on the cantilever deformation, which induces significant errors in the quantification of the biosensing ...

We study the high-contrast biharmonic plate equation with HCT and Morley discretizations. We construct a preconditioner that is robust with respect to contrast size and mesh size simultaneously based on the preconditioner proposed by Aksoylu et al. (2008, Comput. Vis. Sci. 11, pp. 319–331). By extending the devised singular perturbation analysis from linear finite element discretization to the ...

in this paper, we study spacelike dual biharmonic curves. we characterize spacelike dual biharmonic curves in terms of their curvature and torsion in the lorentzian dual heisenberg group . we give necessary and sufficient conditions for spacelike dual biharmonic curves in the lorentzian dual heisenberg group . therefore, we prove that all spacelike dual biharmonic curves are spacelike dual heli...

We study the eigenvalues of the biharmonic operators and the buckling eigenvalue on complete, open Riemannian manifolds. We show that the first eigenvalue of the biharmonic operator on a complete, parabolic Riemannian manifold is zero. We give a generalization of the buckling eigenvalue and give applications to studying the stability of minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in Kähler manifolds. MSC 1...

Chen's biharmonic conjecture is well-known and stays open: The only biharmonic submanifolds of Euclidean spaces are the minimal ones. In this paper, we consider an advanced version of the conjecture, replacing $Delta$ by its extension, $L_1$-operator ($L_1$-conjecture). The $L_1$-conjecture states that any $L_1$-biharmonic Euclidean hypersurface is 1-minimal. We prove that the $L_1$-conje...
