Abstract This paper is concerned with the positivity of solutions to the Cauchy problem for linear and nonlinear parabolic equations with the biharmonic operator as fourth order elliptic principal part. Generally, Cauchy problems for parabolic equations of fourth order have no positivity preserving property due to the change of sign of the fundamental solution. One has eventual local positivity for positive initial data, but on short time scales, one will in general have also regions of negativity. The first goal of this paper is to find sufficient conditions on initial data which ensure the existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the linear biharmonic heat equation which are positive for all times and in the whole space. The second goal is to apply these results to show existence of globally positive solutions to the Cauchy problem for a semilinear biharmonic parabolic equation.

SynopsisWe study the convergence to the stationary state for the parabolic equation u, = uxx + F(u). There exist wave-type solutions u(x, t) = φ(x − ct) for a continuum of velocities c. In the asymptotic behavior of this equation was investigated for a step function as initial data. In this paper we obtain the asymptotic behavior for a large class of monotone initial data.All solutions with initial data in this class evolve to wave-type solutions, where the rate of decay of the initial data determines the asymptotic speed.

We establish an observability estimate for the fractional order parabolic equations evolved in a bounded domainΩofℝn. The observation region isF×ω, whereωandFare measurable subsets ofΩand (0,T), respectively, with positive measure. This inequality is equivalent to the null controllable property for a linear controlled fractional order parabolic equation. The building of this estimate is based on the Lebeau-Robbiano strategy and a delicate result in measure theory provided in Phung and Wang (2013).
