SynopsisIn this paper energy estimates for solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the biharmonicequation, expressing Saint-Venant's principle in elasticity, are proved. From these integral inequalities, estimates for the maximum modulus of solutions and the gradient of solutions with homogeneous Diriehlet's boundary conditions in a neighbourhood of an irregular boundary point or in a neighbourhood of infinity are derived. These estimates characterize the continuity of solutions and their gradients at these points.

Abstract Path planning has been widely investigated by many researchers and engineers for its extensive applications in the real world. In this paper, a biharmonic radial basis potential function (BRBPF) representation is proposed to construct navigation fields in 2D maps with obstacles, and it therefore can guide and design a path joining given start and goal positions with obstacle avoidance. We construct BRBPF by solving a biharmonic equation associated with distance-related boundary conditions using radial basis functions (RBFs). In this way, invalid gradients calculated by finite difference methods in large size grids can be preventable. Furthermore, paths constructed by BRBPF are smoother than paths constructed by harmonic potential functions and other methods, and plenty of experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is valid and effective.

Abstract An approximate solution for the distribution of stresses in a rotating prismatic shaft, of triangular cross section, is presented in this paper. A general method is employed which may be applied in obtaining approximate solutions for the stress distribution for rotating prismatic shapes, for the cases of either generalized plane stress or plane strain. Polynomials are used which exactly satisfy the biharmonic equation and the symmetry conditions, and which approximately satisfy the boundary conditions.

This article deals with the parabolic equation ∂tw − c(t)∂2x w = f in D, D = { (t, x) ∈ R2 : t > 0, φ1 (t) < x < φ2(t) } with φi : [0,+∞[→ R, i = 1, 2 and c : [0,+∞[→ R satisfying some conditions and the problem is supplemented with boundary conditions of Dirichlet-Robin type. We study the global regularity problem in a suitable parabolic Sobolev space. We prove in particular that for f ∈ L2(D) there exists a unique solution w such that w, ∂tw, ∂jw ∈ L2(D), j = 1, 2. Notice that the case of bounded non-rectangular domains is studied in [9]. The proof is based on energy estimates after transforming the problem in a strip region combined with some interpolation inequality. This work complements the results obtained in [19] in the case of Cauchy-Dirichlet boundary conditions
