Solution of a Biharmonic Equation

A Highly Accurate Numerical Solution of a Biharmonic Equation

The coefficients for a nine-point high-order accuracy discretization scheme for a biharmonic equation∇4u = f(x, y) (∇2 is the two-dimensional Laplacian operator) are derived. The biharmonic problem is defined on a rectangular domain with two types of boundary conditions: (1) u and ∂u/∂n or (2) u and ∂u/∂n (where ∂/∂n is the normal to the boundary derivative) are specified at the boundary. For b...

The Numerical Solution of the Biharmonic Equation by Conformal Mapping

The solution to the biharmonic equation in a simply connected region in the plane is computed in terms of the Goursat functions. The boundary conditions are conformally transplanted to the disk with a numerical conformal map. A linear system is obtained for the Taylor coeecients of the Goursat functions. The coeecient matrix of the linear system can be put in the form I + K where K is the discr...

Sinc Solution of Biharmonic Problems

In this paper we solve two biharmonic problems over a square, B = (−1, 1) × (−1, 1). (1) The problem ∇4U = f , for which we determine a particular solution, U , given f , via use of Sinc convolution; and (2) The boundary value problem ∇4V = 0 for which we determine V given V = g and normal derivative Vn = h on ∂B, the boundary of B. The solution to this problem is carried out based on the identity

Enclosure for the Biharmonic Equation
