β¦ Synopsis
It has been proven that if the solution exists to an inhomogeneous biharmonic equation in the plane where the values of the solution, the normal derivative of the solution, and the Laplacian of the solution are prescribed on the boundary, then the domain is a disk. This result has been extended to N -dimensions by the Serrin reflection method. Here we present a new proof and give a characterization of open balls in R n .

## Abstract We study some boundary value problems on twoβdimensional polygonal topological networks, where on each face, the considered operator is the biharmonic operator. The transmission conditions we impose along the edges are inspired by the models introduced by H. Le Dret [13] and Destuynder
We find an asymptotic expression for the first eigenvalue of the biharmonic operator on a long thin rectangle. This is done by finding lower and upper bounds which become increasingly accurate with increasing length. The lower bound is found by algebraic manipulation of the operator, and the upper b
