### Qualitative properties and standard estimates of solutions for some fourth order elliptic equations

#### Abstract

In this paper, first, we make the estimates for a class of fourth order elliptic equations in different domains and boundary conditions. Consequently, we study the qualitative properties of solutions with prescribed $Q$-curvature. Finally, we also will obtain some radially symmetric results by using moving plane methods.
