Abstract

In this work, we study the existence, uniqueness and maximal \(L^p\)-regularity of the solution of different biharmonic problems. We rewrite these problems by a fourth-order operational equation and different boundary conditions, set in a cylindrical n-dimensional spatial region \(\Omega \) of \({\mathbb {R}}^n\). To this end, we give an explicit representation formula, using analytic semigroups, and invert explicitly a determinant operator in \(L^p\)-spaces thanks to \(\mathcal {E}_\infty \) functional calculus and operator sums theory.
