We prove an apriori estimate in Morrey spaces for both intrinsic and extrinsic biharmonic maps into spheres. As applications, we prove an energy quantization theorem for biharmonic maps from 4-manifolds into spheres and a partial regularity for stationary intrinsic biharmonic maps into spheres. x

In an arbitrary bounded 2-D domain, a singular perturbation approach is developed to analyze the asymptotic behavior of several biharmonic linear and nonlinear eigenvalue problems for which the solution exhibits a concentration behavior either due to a hole in the domain, or as a result of a nonlinearity that is non-negligible only in some localized region in the domain. The specific form for t...

Solvability issues of four boundary value problems for a nonlocal biharmonic equation in the unit ball are investigated. Dirichlet, Neumann, Navier and Riquier–Neumann studied. For under consideration, existence uniqueness theorems proved. Necessary sufficient conditions solvability all obtained an integral representations solutions given terms corresponding Green’s functions.

Laguerreminimal (L-minimal) surfaces are theminimizers of the energy ∫ (H2 −K)/KdA. They are a Laguerre geometric counterpart of Willmore surfaces, the minimizers of ∫ (H2 − K)dA, which are known to be an entity of Möbius sphere geometry. The present paper provides a new and simple approach to L-minimal surfaces by showing that they appear as graphs of biharmonic functions in the isotropic mode...

We investigate Riesz bases of wavelets in Sobolev spaces and their applications to numerical solutions of the biharmonic equation and general elliptic equations of fourth-order. First, we study bicubic splines on the unit square with homogeneous boundary conditions. The approximation properties of these cubic splines are established and applied to convergence analysis of the finite element meth...

We present new singular solutions of the biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) iψt(t,x)− ψ + |ψ |2σψ = 0, x ∈ R , 4/d σ 4. These solutions collapse with the quasi-self-similar ring profile ψQB , where |ψQB(t, r)| ∼ 1 L2/σ (t) QB ( r − rmax(t) L(t) ) , r = |x|, L(t) is the ring width that vanishes at singularity, rmax(t) ∼ r0L(t) is the ring radius, and α = (4 − σ)/(σ (d − 1)). The blo...

In this article we deal with the existence questions to the nonlinear biharmonic systems. Using theory of monotone operators, we show the existence of a unique weak solution to the weighted biharmonic systems. We also show the existence of a positive solution to weighted biharmonic systems in the unit ball in Rn , using Leray Schauder fixed point theorem. In this study we allow sign-changing we...

Abstract In this paper we consider the lower order eigenvalues of biharmonic operator on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty) and prove a type of general inequalities for them. In particular, we study the lower order eigenvalues of biharmonic operator on compact submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, of spheres, and of projective spaces. We obtain some estimates for lower orde...

We investigate biharmonic submanifolds of the product of two space forms. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for biharmonic submanifolds in these product spaces. Then, we obtain mean curvature estimates for proper-biharmonic submanifold of a product of two unit spheres. We also prove a non-existence result in the case of the product of a sphere and a hyperbolic space.
