Maximum principles and bounds in a class of fourth-order uniformly elliptic equations

This paper is devoted to a class of fourth-order uniformly elliptic equations posed by Schaefer in 1987. We obtain maximum principles for certain functions, which are defined on solutions of the elliptic equations. The principles are then used to deduce some bounds on important quantities in the physical problems of interest.
