In this paper we identify a relation between the coefficients that represents a critical case for general fourth-order equations. We obtained the forms of solutions under this critical case.

abstract We consider the use of a system of horizontal and vertical pendulums to determine linear and rotational components of ground motion. Accelerometers can be viewed as a special case of pendulums. Fourth-order equations are always required for determining horizontal displacement unless the natural period of at least one sensor lies far below the passband of interest. Applications to guidance and to seismology are mentioned briefly.

AbstractIn this paper, we analyse the semilinear fourth-order problem ( − Δ)2 u = g(u) in exterior domains of ℝN. Assuming the function g is nondecreasing and continuous in [0, + ∞) and positive in (0, + ∞), we show that positive classical supersolutions u of the problem which additionally verify − Δu > 0 exist if and only if N ≥ 5 and $$\int_0^\delta \displaystyle{{g(s)}\over{s^{(({2(N-2)})/({N-4}))}}} {\rm d}s \lt + \infty$$ for some δ > 0. When only radially symmetric solutions are taken into account, we also show that the monotonicity of g is not needed in this result. Finally, we consider the same problem posed in ℝN and show that if g is additionally convex and lies above a power greater than one at infinity, then all positive supersolutions u automatically verify − Δu > 0 in ℝN, and they do not exist when the previous condition fails.
