$f$-Biharmonic submanifolds in space forms and $f$-biharmonic Riemannian submersions from 3-manifolds

$f$-Biharmonic maps are generalizations of harmonic maps and biharmonic maps. In this paper, we obtain some descriptions of $f$-biharmonic curves in a space form. We also obtain a complete classification of proper $f$-biharmonic isometric immersions of a developable surface in \r^3 by proving that a proper $f$-biharmonic developable surface exists only in the case where the surface is a cylinder. Based on this, we show that a proper biharmonic conformal immersion of a developable surface into \r^3 exists only in the case when the surface is a cylinder. Riemannian submersions can be viewed as the dual notion of isometric immersions (i.e., submanifolds). We also study $f$-biharmonicity of Riemannian submersions from 3-space forms by using the integrability data. Examples are given of proper $f$-biharmonic Riemannian submersions and $f$-biharmonic surfaces and curves.
