Higher derivatives in "PDEPE"

When I want to consider "PDEPE" command for 1D PDE like Du/Dt = \nabla^4 u = \nabla \cdot \nabla^3 u, how can express the higher derivatives in f?
That is, f = \nabla^3 u. How can I modify this term with DuDx?
Thanks in advance.

HI Jaesung,
The "pdepe" function is suited to solve the PDE of the form shown in equation (1-3) of:
In your case, "f = \nabla^3 u" is unfortunately not in this form. MATLAB does offer ways to solve these kinds of PDEs numerically, for example, via the "pdeval" function.

Dear Ding,
Thanks for your answer. I have attached the simplified version on my equation. The first equation is parabolic and the second qualifies as elliptic. If you don't mind, could you explain why our equations do not fit into the required pdepe format? In the original version, u(1) is the first order derivative and u(2) is the thrid order derivative. I reshaped the original ODE.
I appreciate your comments in advance.

Your equation for f_1 shows a derivative wrt y for u_2. I assume that is simply a typographical error? If that is the case, these equations look to me to be in a form acceptable to pdepe. What problem did you run into when you tried to solve them?
