The behavior of solutions to the biharmonic equation is well-understood in smooth domains. In the past two decades substantial progress has also been made for the polyhedral domains and domains with Lipschitz boundaries. However, very little is known about higher order elliptic equations in the general setting. In this paper we introduce new integral identities that allow to investigate the sol...

The evaluation of sums (matrix–vector products) of the solutions of the three-dimensional biharmonic equation can be accelerated using the fast multipole method, while memory requirements can also be significantly reduced. We develop a complete translation theory for these equations. It is shown that translations of elementary solutions of the biharmonic equation can be achieved by considering ...

The paper studies boundary integral operators of the bi{Laplacian on piecewise smooth curves with corners and describes their mapping properties in the trace spaces of variational solutions of the biharmonic equation. We formulate a direct integral equation method for solving mixed boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation on a nonsmooth plane domain, analyse the solvability of the co...

We consider integral equation formulations of contact problems of Kirchhoff (thin) plates, discontinuously supported along arcs or segments. In the classical PDE formulation (biharmonic equation), the plate deflection is assumed as the primary unknown. The boundary conditions along the supported edge are imposed in terms of the plate deflection and its derivatives, and the reaction forces and c...

The aim of this article is to establish the existence of at least three‎ ‎solutions for a perturbed $p$-biharmonic equation depending on two‎ ‎real parameters‎. ‎The approach is based on variational methods‎.

Biharmonic equation is one of the most existing operator in many areas, especially in fluid and solid mechanics, but difficult to solve due to the fourth order derivatives in the differential equation. In this paper we deal with the use of the local particular solution method to solve the two-dimensional biharmonic equation in a bounded region. The technique is based on decoupling the biharmoni...

Biharmonic equations have many applications, especially in fluid and solid mechanics, but difficult to solve due to the fourth order derivatives in the differential equation. In this paper a fast second order accurate algorithm based on a finite difference discretization and a Cartesian grid is developed for two dimensional biharmonic equations on irregular domains with essential boundary condi...

In this paper, the reduction of biharmonic map equation in terms of the Maurer-Cartan form for all smooth map of an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold into a compact Lie group (G, h) with bi-invariant Riemannian metric h is obtained. By this formula, all biharmonic curves into compaqct Lie groups are determined, and all the biharmonic maps of an open domain of R with the conformal metric of ...
