Positive singular radial entire solutions of a biharmonic equation with subcritical exponent are obtained via the entire radial solutions of the equation with supercritical exponent and the Kelvin transformation. The expansions of such singular radial solutions at the singular point 0 are presented. Using these singular radial entire solutions, we construct solutions with a prescribed singular ...

This is a supplement to our previous research note [3]. In [3], we gave a characterization of biharmonic curves in Minkowski 3-space. More precisely, we pointed out that every biharmonic curves with nonnull principal normal in Minkowski 3-space is a helix, whose curvature κ and torsion τ satisfy κ2 = τ2. In the classification of biharmonic curves in Minkowski 3-space due to Chen and Ishikawa [1...

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

Abstract. This paper derives a new scheme for the mixed finite element method for the biharmonic equation in which the flow function is approximated by piecewise quadratic polynomial and vortex function by piecewise linear polynomials. Assuming that the partition, with triangles as elements, is quasi-uniform, then the proposed scheme can achieve the approximation order that is observed by the C...

Two-level additive Schwarz preconditioners are developed for the nonconforming P1 finite element approximation of scalar second-order symmetric positive definite elliptic boundary value problems, the Morley finite element approximation of the biharmonic equation, and the divergence-free nonconforming P1 finite element approximation of the stationary Stokes equations. The condition numbers of th...

The method of Muskhelishvili for solving the biharmonic equation using con-formal mapping is investigated. In CDH] it was shown, using the Hankel structure, that the linear system in Musk] is the discretization of the identity plus a compact operator, and therefore the conjugate gradient method will converge superlinearly. Estimates are given here of the superlinear convergence in the cases whe...

We construct infinitely many real-valued, time-periodic breather solutions of power-type nonlinear wave equations. These are obtained from critical points a dual functional and they weakly localized in space. Our abstract framework allows to find similar existence results for the Klein-Gordon equation or biharmonic

The possibility of unidirectional motion of a kink (topological soliton) of a dissipative sine-Gordon equation in the presence of ac forces with harmonic mixing (at least biharmonic) and of zero mean, is presented. The dependence of the kink mean velocity on system parameters is investigated numerically and the results are compared with a perturbation analysis based on a point-particle represen...
