We answer affirmatively the open problem proposed by Cabr\'e and Tan in their paper "Positive solutions of nonlinear problems involving the square root of the Laplacian" (see Adv. Math. {\bf 224} (2010), no. 5, 2052-2093).
We show that smooth solutions to the Euler equation on the half-plane can exhibit double-exponential growth of their vorticity gradients. We also determine the maximal possible growth rate and construct solutions that saturate it. These are…

We consider a stochastic Laplacian growth problem in the framework of normal random matrices. In the large $N$ limit the support of eigenvalues of random matrices is a planar domain with a sharp boundary which evolves under a change in the…
We study viscosity solutions to the classical one-phase problem and its thin counterpart. In low dimensions, we show that when the free boundary is the graph of a continuous function, the solution is the half-plane solution. This answers,…
