We study regularity properties of solutions to nonlinear and nonlocal evolution problems driven by the so-called \emph{$0$-order fractional $p-$Laplacian} type operators: $$ \partial_t u(x,t)=\mathcal{J}_p u(x,t):=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}…

We consider a generalization of the Bernoulli free boundary problem where the underlying differential operator is a nonlocal, non-translation-invariant elliptic operator of order $2s\in (0,2)$. Because of the lack of translation invariance,…

We study the regularity of the free boundary in the obstacle for the $p$-Laplacian, $\min\bigl\{-\Delta_p u,\,u-\varphi\bigr\}=0$ in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$. Here, $\Delta_p u=\textrm{div}\bigl(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\bigr)$, and…
