The authors prove Phragmén-Lindelöf type theorems for a class of fourth order elliptic equations of the form \[ \Delta^2u +\sum^n_{i=1} b_i(x,u) u_{x_i} =0, \quad \Delta^2 u+\Delta g(u) =0 \tag{1} \] and for the second order parabolic equations of the form \[ u_t- \Delta u+ \Delta f(u)=0. \tag{2} \] Equation (1) is considered in the domain \(\Omega= \{x\in \mathbb{R}^n: x_1\in \mathbb{R}^+\), \(x'= (x_2, \dots, x_n)\in \sigma_{x_1} \subset \mathbb{R}^{n-1}\}\), with the boundary conditions \(u=\partial u/ \partial\nu=0\) on \(\partial \Omega\). The case where \(\Omega =\{x\in \mathbb{R}^n: -\infty< x_1<+ \infty\), \(x'\in \sigma_{x_1}\}\) is considered also. Problem (2) is considered in \(Q_T= \Omega\times [0,T]\) with the conditions: \(u(x,0)=0\) \((x\in \Omega)\), \(u(x,t)=0\) \(((x,t) \in\partial \Omega \times[0,T])\).
