Steklov vs. Steklov: A fourth-order affair related to the Babuška paradox

We discuss two fourth-order Steklov problems and highlight a Babu & scaron;ka paradox appearing in their approximations on convex domains via sequences of convex polygons. To do so, we prove that the eigenvalues of one of the two problems depend with continuity upon domain perturbation in the class of convex domains, extending a result known in the literature for the first eigenvalue. This is obtained by examining in detail a nonlocal second order problem for harmonic functions introduced by Ferrero, Gazzola, and Weth. We further review how this result is connected to diverse variants of the classical Babu & scaron;ka paradox for the hinged plate and to a degeneration result by Maz'ya and Nazarov.
