The idea of monotonicity (or positive-definiteness in the linear case) is shown to be the central theme of the solution theories associated with problems of mathematical physics. A "grand unified" setting is surveyed covering a…
We prove that for minimizers of the vectorial Alt-Caffarelli functional the two-phase singular set of the free boundary is rectifiable and the blow-up is unique almost everywhere on it. While the first conclusion is an application of the…

In this paper, we are concerned with the weighted elliptic system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u=|x|^{\beta} v^{\vartheta},\\ -\Delta v=|x|^{\alpha} |u|^{p-1}u, \end{cases}\quad \mbox{in}\;\ \Omega, \end{equation*}where $\Omega$…
We establish a new monotonicity formula for minimizers of the Mumford-Shah functional in planar domains. Our formula follows the spirit of Bucur-Luckhaus, but works with the David-L\'eger entropy instead of the energy. Interestingly, this…
We explore singular second-order boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions on a general time scale. Using the lower and upper solutions method combined with the Brouwer fixed point theorem we demonstrate the existence of a…

We present some old and recent regularity results concerning minimal and almost minimal sets in domains of the Euclidean space. We concentrate on a sliding variant of Almgren's notion of minimality, which is well suited in the context of…
The goal of this paper is to establish generic regularity of free boundaries for the obstacle problem in $\mathbb R^n$. By classical results of Caffarelli, the free boundary is $C^\infty$ outside a set of singular points. Explicit examples…
A monotonicity approach to the study of the asymptotic behavior near corners of solutions to semilinear elliptic equations in domains with a conical boundary point is discussed. The presence of logarithms in the first term of the asymptotic…
