In this article, we construct aC0 linear finite element method for two fourth-order eigenvalue problems: the biharmonic and the transmission eigenvalue problems. The basic idea of our construction is to use gradient recovery operator to compute the higher-order derivatives of a C0 piecewise linear function, which do not exist in the classical sense. For the biharmonic eigenvalue problem, the op...

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 study, stress and displacement functions of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity for homogeneous isotropic bodies are derived from first principles from the differential equations of equilibrium, the generalized stress – strain laws and the geometric relations of strain and displacement. It is found that the stress and displacement functions must be biharmonic functions. The deriv...

We give a new bound on the exponent for the nonexistence of stable solutions to the biharmonic problem ∆u = u, u > 0 in R where p > 1, n ≥ 20.

In this work we study the existence of solutions for the nonlinear eigenvalue problem with p-biharmonic ∆pu = λm(x)|u|p−2u in a smooth bounded domain under Neumann boundary conditions.

In this note we use the Nehari manifold and fibering maps to show existence of positive solutions for a nonlinear biharmonic equation in a bounded smooth domain in Rn, when n = 5, 6, 7. Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J35, 35J40
