This paper studies some properties of F-biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. By considering the first variation formula of the F-bienergy functional, F-biharmonicity of conformal maps are investigated. Moreover, the second variation formula for F-biharmonic maps is obtained. As an application, instability and nonexistence theorems for F-biharmonic maps are given.

This report investigates the paper Lipman et al. Biharmonic distance, who introduced a new distance measure, called biharmonic. We examine the approach of the distance, which is based on the Green’s kernel of the Bi-Laplacian in the continuous and the discrete setting. For the discrete setting we have two different methods of calculation, an approximate as well as an exact computation. Furtherm...

We classify the space-like biharmonic surfaces in 3dimension pseudo-Riemannian space form, and construct explicit examples of proper biharmonic hypersurfaces in general ADS space.

in this paper, biharmonic slant helices are studied according to bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give necessary and sufficient conditions for slant helices to be biharmonic. the biharmonic slant helices arecharacterized in terms of bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give some characterizations for tangent bishop spherical images of b-slant helix. additionally, we illu...

Biharmonic surfaces in Euclidean space $mathbb{E}^3$ are firstly studied from a differential geometric point of view by Bang-Yen Chen, who showed that the only biharmonic surfaces are minimal ones. A surface $x : M^2rightarrowmathbb{E}^{3}$ is called biharmonic if $Delta^2x=0$, where $Delta$ is the Laplace operator of $M^2$. We study the $L_k$-biharmonic spacelike hypersurfaces in the $4$-dimen...

In this paper, the reduction of biharmonic map equation in terms of the Maurer-Cartan form for all smooth map of an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold into a compact Lie group (G, h) with bi-invariant Riemannian metric h is obtained. By this formula, all biharmonic curves into compaqct Lie groups are determined, and all the biharmonic maps of an open domain of R with the conformal metric of ...

We consider in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maps to a Riemannian manifold with bi-tension fields bounded in L for p > 4 3 . We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of hessian energies by the sum of hessian energies over finitely many nontrivial biharmonic maps on R. As a corollary, we obtain an energy identity for the heat flow of biharmoni...

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...

Optimal pointwise estimates are derived for the biharmonic Green function in arbitrary C4,γ -smooth domains. Maximum principles do not exist for fourth order elliptic equations and the Green function may change sign. It prevents using a Harnack inequality as for second order problems and hence complicates the derivation of optimal estimates. The present estimate is obtained by an asymptotic ana...
