摘要

We prove a fourth order analogue of the Saint-Venant inequality: the mean deflection of a clamped plate under uniform transverse load is maximal for the ball, among plates of prescribed volume in any dimension of space. The method works in the Euclidean space, the hyperbolic space, and the sphere. Similar results for clamped plates under small compression and for the compliance under non-uniform loads are proved to hold in two dimensional Euclidean space, with the higher dimensional and curved cases of those problems left open.
