We consider the solutions to Cauchy problems for the parabolic equation $u_\tau +\Delta^2u=0$ in $\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}^n$, with fast decay initial data. We study the behavior of their moments. This enables us to give a more precise description of the sign-changing behavior of solutions corresponding to positive initial data.
Keywords: parabolic equations, moments of solutions., Fourth order.
