On solutions of a boundary value problem for the biharmonic equation

Abstract

We study the uniqueness of the solution of a boundary value problem for the biharmonic equation in unbounded domains under the assumption that the generalized solution of this problem has a bounded Dirichlet integral with weight |x|^a. Depending on the value of the parameter a, we prove uniqueness theorems or present exact formulas for the dimension of the solution space of this problem in the exterior of a compact set and in a half-space.
