In this paper, we prove new embedding results by means of subspace interpolation theory and apply them to establishing regularity estimates for the biharmonic Dirichlet problem, and for the Stokes and the Navier-Stokes systems on polygonal domains. The main result of the paper gives a stability estimate for the biharmonic problem at the threshold index of smoothness. The classical regularity es...

Let T be a tree rooted at e endowed with a nearest-neighbor transition probability that yields a recurrent random walk. We show that there exists a function K biharmonic off e whose Laplacian has potential theoretic importance and, in addition, has the following property: Any function f on T which is biharmonic outside a finite set has a representation, unique up to addition of a harmonic funct...

During the development of a convergence theory for Nicolaides’ extension [21, 24] of the classical MAC scheme [25, 22, 26] for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to unstructured triangle meshes, it became clear that a convergence theory for a new kind of finite volume discretizations for the biharmonic problem would be a very useful tool in the convergence analysis of the generalized MA...

We investigate proper biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most three distinct principal curvatures in space forms. We obtain the full classification of proper biharmonic hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional space forms.

In the present paper we survey the most recent classification results for proper biharmonic submanifolds in unit Euclidean spheres. We also obtain some new results concerning geometric properties of proper biharmonic constant mean curvature submanifolds in spheres.

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 ...

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...

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...

We construct biharmonic real hypersurfaces and Lagrangian submanifolds of Clifford torus type in CPn via the Hopf fibration; and get new examples of biharmonic submanifolds in S as byproducts .

Let R be a Riemannian manifold without a biharmonic Green function defined on it and Ω a domain in R. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a biharmonic Green function on Ω.
