Let a function amp;psi;(x,y), biharmonic in the semi-infinite strip {-1/2amp;lt;xamp;lt;1/2,yamp;lt;0}, be such that the function and its normal derivative vanish on the side walls x=amp;plusmn;1/2. We consider the problem of determining this function when we are given amp;psi;(x,0) and amp;nabla;lt;supgt;2lt;/supgt;amp;psi;(x,0) on the short edge y=0. First, we give a direct method of obtaining a biorthogonality relation among the eigenfunctions and then give a formal solution of the boundary value problem using this relation. Next we show that if we attempt to use this solution using a finite number of terms of the series, it is inferior to a solution where the expansion coefficients are calculating using a least squares procedure. This is a surprising result considering that for Fourier series, the Fourier coefficients are always optimal
