Abstract: The biharmonic equation arises in areas of continuum mechanics including linear elasticity theory and the Stokes flows, as well as in a radar imaging problem. We discuss the reflection formulas for the biharmonic functions u(x,y)inmathbbR2 subject to different boundary conditions on a real-analytic curve in the plane. The obtained formulas, generalizing the celebrated Schwarz symmetry principle for harmonic functions, have different structures. In particular, in the special case of the boundary, Gamma0:=y=0, reflections are point to point when the given on Gamma0 conditions are u=partialnu=0, u=Deltau=0 or partialnu=partialnDeltau=0, and point to a continuous set when u=partialnDeltau=0 or partialnu=Deltau=0 on Gamma0.
