Fourth-order Operators on Manifolds with Boundary
Recent work in the literature has studied fourth-order elliptic operators on manifolds with boundary. This paper proves that, in the case of the squared Laplace operator, the boundary conditions which require that the eigenfunctions and their normal derivative should vanish at the boundary lead to self-adjointness of the boundary-value problem. On studying, for simplicity, the squared Laplace o...
متن کاملGap Phenomena for a Class of Fourth-order Geometric Differential Operators on Surfaces with Boundary
Abstract. In this paper we establish a gap phenomenon for immersed surfaces with arbitrary codimension, topology and boundaries that satisfy one of a family of systems of fourth-order anisotropic geometric partial differential equations. Examples include Willmore surfaces, stationary solitons for the surface diffusion flow, and biharmonic immersed surfaces in the sense of Chen. On the boundary ...
متن کاملa class of fourth order differential operators with transmission conditions
we investigate a class of fourth-order differential operators with eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions and transmission conditions. a self-adjoint linear operator a is defined in a suitable hilbert space h such that the eigenvalues of such a problem coincide with those of a . we discuss asymptotic behavior of its eigenvalues and completeness of its eigenfunctions. finally, we obtain th...
متن کاملExistence of positive solutions for fourth-order boundary value problems with three- point boundary conditions
In this work, by employing the Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem, we study the existence of positive solutions of a three-point boundary value problem for the following fourth-order differential equation begin{eqnarray*} left { begin{array}{ll} u^{(4)}(t) -f(t,u(t),u^{prime prime }(t))=0 hspace{1cm} 0 leq t leq 1, & u(0) = u(1)=0, hspace{1cm} alpha u^{prime prime }(0) - beta u^{prime prime pri...
متن کاملFamilies Index for Pseudodifferential Operators on Manifolds with Boundary
An analytic families index is defined for (cusp) pseudodifferential operators on a fibration with fibres which are compact manifolds with boundaries. This provides an extension to the boundary case of the setting of the (pseudodifferential) Atiyah-Singer theorem and to the pseudodifferential case of the families Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators due to Bismut and Cheeger an...
