Abstract This paper is concerned with the positivity of solutions to the Cauchy problem for linear and nonlinear parabolic equations with the biharmonic operator as fourth order elliptic principal part. Generally, Cauchy problems for parabolic equations of fourth order have no positivity preserving property due to the change of sign of the fundamental solution. One has eventual local positivity for positive initial data, but on short time scales, one will in general have also regions of negativity. The first goal of this paper is to find sufficient conditions on initial data which ensure the existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the linear biharmonic heat equation which are positive for all times and in the whole space. The second goal is to apply these results to show existence of globally positive solutions to the Cauchy problem for a semilinear biharmonic parabolic equation.

In this paper, we consider the problem of the exact and approximate solutions of certain differential equations with variational derivatives of the first and second orders. Some information about the variational derivatives and explicit formulas for the exact solutions of the simplest equations with the first variational derivatives are given. An interpolation method for solving ordinary differential equations with variational derivatives is demonstrated. The general scheme of an approximate solution of the Cauchy problem for nonlinear differential equations with variational derivatives of the first order, based on the use of the operator interpolation apparatus, is presented. The exact solution of the differential equation of the hyperbolic type with variational derivatives, similar to the classical Dalamber solution, is obtained. The Hermite interpolation problem with the conditions of coincidence in the nodes of the interpolated and interpolation functionals, as well as their variational derivatives of the first and second orders, is considered for functionals defined on the sets of differentiable functions. The found explicit representation of the solution of the given interpolation problem is based on an arbitrary Chebyshev system of functions. This solution is generalized for the case of interpolation of functionals on one out of two variables and applied to construct an approximate solution of the Cauchy problem for the differential equation of the hyperbolic type with variational derivatives. The description of the material is illustrated by numerous examples.
