In this article, we deal with the fine boundary regularity, a weighted H\"{o}lder regularity of weak solutions to the problem involving the fractional $(p,q)$ Laplacian denoted by $(-\Delta)_{p}^{s} u + (-\Delta)_{q}^{s} u = f(x)$ in…

For a vectorial Bernoulli-type free boundary problem, with no sign assumption on the components, we prove that flatness of the free boundary implies $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity, as well-known in the scalar case \cite{AC,C2}. While in…

We study the obstacle problem for fully nonlinear elliptic operators with an anisotropic degeneracy on the gradient: \[ \min \left\{f-|Du|^\gamma F(D^2u),u-\phi\right\} = 0 \quad\textrm{ in }\quad \Omega. \] We obtain existence of solutions…

We show that the singular set $\Sigma$ in the classical obstacle problem can be locally covered by a $C^\infty$ hypersurface, up to an "exceptional" set $E$, which has Hausdorff dimension at most $n-2$ (countable, in the $n=2$ case).…

We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for the Signorini problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. It is known that regular points are $(n-1)$-dimensional and $C^\infty$. However, even for $C^\infty$ obstacles $\varphi$, the set of…
