چکیده
We study the positivity preserving property for the Cauchy problem for the linear fourth order heat equation. Although the complete positivity preserving property fails, we show that it holds eventually on compact sets.

Decay and eventual local positivity for biharmonic parabolic equations
We study existence and positivity properties for solutions of Cauchy problems for both linear and semilinear parabolic equations with the biharmonic operator as elliptic principal part. The self-similar kernel of the parabolic operator ∂t + ∆ 2 is a sign changing function and the solution of the evolution problem with a positive initial datum may display almost instantaneous change of sign. We ...
متن کاملStability of the Positivity of Biharmonic Green’s Functions under Perturbations of the Domain Hans-christoph Grunau and Frédéric Robert
In general, higher order elliptic equations and boundary value problems like the biharmonic equation or the linear clamped plate boundary value problem do not enjoy neither a maximum principle nor a comparison principle or – equivalently – a positivity preserving property. The problem is rather involved since the clamped boundary conditions prevent the boundary value problem from being written ...

متن کاملInfinitely many solutions for p-biharmonic equation with general potential and concave-convex nonlinearity in RN$\mathbb{R}^{N}$
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...
