On the Paneitz energy on standard three sphere
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 10 (2004) no. 2, pp. 211-223.

We prove that the Paneitz energy on the standard three-sphere S 3 is bounded from below and extremal metrics must be conformally equivalent to the standard metric.
