Abstract

In this paper we classify proper $L_k$-biharmonic hypersurfaces $ M $, in the unit Euclidean sphere which has two principal curvatures and we show that they are open pieces of standard products of spheres. Also we study proper $L_k$-biharmonic compact hypersurfaces $ M $ with respect to $tr(S^2\circ P_k)$ and $ H_k $ where $ S $ is the shape operator, $ P_k $ is the Newton transformation and $ H_k $ is the $ k $-th mean curvature of $ M $, and by definiteness's assumption of $ P_k $, we show that $ H_{k+1} $ is constant.
