Classification of global solutions of a free boundary problem in the plane

Analysis of PDEs 2022-09-08 v2

Abstract

We classify nontrivial, nonnegative, positively homogeneous solutions of the equation \begin{equation*} \Delta u=\gamma u^{\gamma-1} \end{equation*} in the plane. The problem is motivated by the analysis of the classical Alt-Phillips free boundary problem, but considered here with negative exponents γ\gamma. The proof relies on several bespoke results for ordinary differential equations.
