We consider viscosity solutions to a one-phase free boundary problem for the $p(x)$-Laplacian with non-zero right hand side. We apply the tools developed in \cite{D} to prove that flat free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$. Moreover, we obtain…
We study the regularity of the "free surface" in boundary obstacle problems. We show that near a non-degenerate point the free boundary is a $C^{1,\alpha}$ $(n-2)$-dimensional surface in $\real^{n-1}$.
In a wide class of the so called Obstacle Problems of parabolic type it is shown how to improve the optimal regularity of the solution and as a consequence how to obtain space-time regularity of the corresponding free boundary.
In this paper, we develop a series of boundary pointwise regularity for Dirichlet problems and oblique derivative problems. As applications, we give direct and simple proofs of the higher regularity of the free boundaries in obstacle-type…
In this article we study for the first time the regularity of the free boundary in the one-phase free boundary problem driven by a general nonlocal operator. Our main results establish that the free boundary is $C^{1,\alpha}$ near regular…
We consider a one-phase free boundary problem involving fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$, $0<s<1$. D. De Silva, O. Savin, and Y. Sire proved that the flat boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$. We raise the regularity to $C^{\infty}$, extending…
In this paper, we consider the properties of a special free boundary point in the following obstacle problem: The Laplacian of u equals f(x) multiplied by the characteristic function of the set where u is positive within the two-dimensional…
We study the higher regularity of free boundaries in obstacle problems for integro-differential operators with drift, like $(-\Delta)^s +b\cdot\nabla$, in the subcritical regime $s>\frac{1}{2}$. Our main result states that once the free…
We consider a one-phase free boundary problem involving a fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\alpha$, $0<\alpha <1,$ and we prove that ``flat free boundaries" are $C^{1,\gamma}$. We thus extend the known result for the case $\alpha=1/2.$
We continue our study in \cite{FL} on viscosity solutions to a one-phase free boundary problem for the $p(x)$-Laplacian with non-zero right hand side. We first prove that viscosity solutions are locally Lipschitz continuous, which is the…
We study certain obstacle type problems involving standard and nonlocal minimal surfaces. We obtain optimal regularity of the solution and a characterization of the free boundary.
In this paper we study the existence, regularity and geometric properties of an optimal configuration to a free boundary optimization problem governed by the $p$-Laplacian.
We revisit and sharpen the results from our previous work, where we investigated the regularity of the singular set of the free boundary in the nonlinear obstacle problem. As in the work of Figalli-Serra on the classical obstacle problem,…
These notes record and expand the lectures for the `Journ\'ees \'Equations aux D\'eriv\'ees Partielles 2018' held by the author during the week of June 11-15, 2018. The aim is to give a overview of the classical theory for the obstacle…
