Find the general form of the functions u=f(x2+y2)u=f\left(\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\right) satisfying the biharmonic equation

∂4u∂x4+2∂4u∂x2 ∂y2+∂4u∂y4=0. \frac{\partial ^{4}u}{\partial x^{4}}+2\frac{\partial ^{4}u}{\partial x^{2}\, \partial y^{2}}+\frac{\partial ^{4}u}{\partial y^{4}}=0.

Surfaces for which the mean curvature is equal to zero are called minimal. The coordinates of their points satisfy the equation

(1+p2)t−2pqs+(1+q2)r=0, (1+p^{2})t-2pqs+(1+q^{2})r=0,

where

p=∂z∂x,q=∂z∂y,r=∂2z∂x2,s=∂2z∂x ∂y,t=∂2z∂y2. p=\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}, \quad q=\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}, \quad r=\frac{\partial ^{2}z}{\partial x^{2}}, \quad s=\frac{\partial ^{2}z}{\partial x\, \partial y}, \quad t=\frac{\partial ^{2}z}{\partial y^{2}}.
