biharmonic and triharmonic
 

I'd like to find some biharmonic and triharmonic time dependent problem.

For example,

u_t = u_{xxxx}

and

u_t = u_{xxxxxx} in one dimensional case.

Would you recommend some references?

Maybe this is of use????

Your first example is an ill-posed problem ( you require u_t = -u_{xxxx} for well-posedness).

Any paper on hyperdiffusion should help. You could also look at papers on elasticity where the biharmonic equation turns up quite naturally.
