We clarify the validity of a method that decouples a boundary value problem of biharmonic equation to two Poisson equations on polygonal domains. The method provides a way of computing deflections of simply supported polygonal plates by using Poisson solvers. We show that such decoupling is not valid if the polygonal domain is not convex. It may fail even when the right hand side function is in...

In this article, a new biorthogonal multiwavelet basis on the interval with complementary homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions of second order is presented. This construction is based on the multiresolution analysis onR introduced in [DHJK00] which consists of cubic Hermite splines on the primal side. Numerical results are given for the Riesz constants and both a non-adaptive and an adapti...

Recommended by Narendra Kumar Govil We first obtain the relations of local univalency, convexity, and linear connectedness between analytic functions and their corresponding affine harmonic mappings. In addition, the paper deals with the regions of variability of values of affine harmonic and biharmonic mappings. The regions their boundaries are determined explicitly and the proofs rely on Schw...

In this paper, non-geodesic biharmonic curves in ̃ SL(2, R) space are characterized and the statement that only proper biharmonic curves are helices is proved. Also, the explicit parametric equations of proper biharmonic helices are obtained. AMS subject classifications: 53A40

In this paper, we study biharmonic maps into Sol and Nil spaces, two model spaces of Thurston's 3-dimensional geometries. We characterize non-geodesic biharmonic curves in Sol space and prove that there exists no non-geodesic biharmonic helix in Sol space. We also show that a linear map from a Eu-clidean space into Sol or Nil space is biharmonic if and only if it is a harmonic map, and give a c...

Microcantilever biosensors in the static operation mode translate molecular recognition into a surface stress signal. Surface stress is derived from the nanomechanical cantilever bending by applying Stoney's equation, derived more than 100 years ago. This equation ignores the clamping effect on the cantilever deformation, which induces significant errors in the quantification of the biosensing ...
