This paper studies conformal biharmonic immersions. We first study the transformations of Jacobi operator and the bitension field under conformal change of metrics. We then obtain an invariant equation for a conformal biharmonic immersion of a surface into Euclidean 3-space. As applications, we construct a 2-parameter family of non-minimal conformal biharmonic immersions of cylinder into R and ...

A Fredholm second kind integral equation (SKIE) formulation is constructed for the Dirichlet problem of the biharmonic equation in three dimensions. A fast numerical algorithm is developed based on the constructed SKIE. Its performance is illustrated via several numerical examples.

In this paper, we study the existence of multiple solutions to a class of p-biharmonic elliptic equations, pu – pu + V(x)|u|p–2u = λh1(x)|u|m–2u + h2(x)|u|q–2u, x ∈RN , where 1 0. By variational methods, we obtain the existence of infini...

Using three critical points theorems, we prove the existence of at least three solutions for a quasilinear biharmonic equation.

The momentum balance of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is investigated using both output from a highresolution primitive equation model and sea surface height measurements from the Geosat altimeter. In the Semtner–Chervin general circulation model, run with approximately one-quarter degree resolution and timevarying ECMWF winds, topographic form stress is the dominant process balancing the s...

In this paper we consider analytical and numerical solutions to the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the biharmonic partial differential equation, on a disk of finite radius in the plane. The physical interpretation of these solutions is that of the harmonic oscillations of a thin, clamped plate. For the linear, fourth-order, biharmonic partial differential equation in the plane, it is well...

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.

In this study, stress and displacement functions of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity for homogeneous isotropic bodies are derived from first principles from the differential equations of equilibrium, the generalized stress – strain laws and the geometric relations of strain and displacement. It is found that the stress and displacement functions must be biharmonic functions. The deriv...

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.

We consider a finite element method based on biorthogonal or quasi-biorthogonal systems for the biharmonic problem. The method is based on the primal mixed finite element method due to Ciarlet and Raviart for the biharmonic equation. Using different finite element spaces for the stream function and vorticity, this approach leads to a formulation only based on the stream function. We prove optim...
