Parabolic and Elliptic Schauder Theory on Manifolds for a Fourth-Order Problem with a First- and a Third-Order Boundary Condition

Abstract

These notes provide a self-contained introduction to Schauder theory on manifolds. First, we derive Schauder estimates for a fourth-order parabolic linear problem with a first- and third-order boundary condition on a smooth compact manifold M. Then, applying these, we prove the existence of solutions and study the associated elliptic problem.
