this paper is concerned with the study of the existence of positive solutions for a navier boundaryvalue problem involving the p-biharmonic operator; the right hand side of problem is a nonsmoothfunctional with variable parameters. the existence of at least three positive solutions is establishedby using nonsmooth version of a three critical points theorem for discontinuous functions. our resul...

In this study, a high accuracy numerical method based on the spectral theory of compact operator for biharmonic eigenvalue equations on a spherical domain is developed. By employing the orthogonal spherical polynomials approximation and the spectral theory of compact operator, the error estimates of approximate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are provided. By adopting orthogonal spherical base f...

The paper studies boundary integral operators of the bi{Laplacian on piecewise smooth curves with corners and describes their mapping properties in the trace spaces of variational solutions of the biharmonic equation. We formulate a direct integral equation method for solving mixed boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation on a nonsmooth plane domain, analyse the solvability of the co...

Abstract. Let Ω be a bounded Lipschitz domain in R. We develop a new approach to the invertibility on L(∂Ω) of the layer potentials associated with elliptic equations and systems in Ω. As a consequence, for n ≥ 4 and 2(n−1) n+1 − ε < p < 2 where ε > 0 depends on Ω, we obtain the solvability of the L Neumann type boundary value problems for second order elliptic systems. The analogous results fo...

This manuscript discusses the existence of nontrivial weak solution for following nonlinear eigenvalue problem driven by p(?)-biharmonic operator with Rellich-type term {?(|?u|p(x)?2?u) = ?|u|q(x)?2u/?(x)2q(x), x ? ?, u ?u 0, ??.

Recently the biharmonic form of the Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations have been solved in various domains by using second order compact discretization. In this paper, we present a fourth order essentially compact (4OEC) finite difference scheme for the steady N-S equations in geometries beyond rectangular. As a further advancement to the earlier formulations on the classical biharmonic equation tha...

Among various barycentric coordinates and their extensions, the linear and cubic (Hermite) Gordon-Wixom transfinite interpolation schemes deliver the most accurate approximations of the harmonic and biharmonic functions, respectively. However interpolation properties of the original Gordon-Wixom interpolations are studied for convex domains only and, therefore, their current practical importanc...

During the development of a convergence theory for Nicolaides’ extension [21, 24] of the classical MAC scheme [25, 22, 26] for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to unstructured triangle meshes, it became clear that a convergence theory for a new kind of finite volume discretizations for the biharmonic problem would be a very useful tool in the convergence analysis of the generalized MA...
