We study the parabolic obstacle problem $$\lap u-u_t=f\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \quad u\geq 0,\quad f\in L^p \quad \mbox{with}\quad f(0)=1$$ and obtain two monotonicity formulae, one that applies for general free boundary points and one for singular…
In this paper we prove the uniqueness of the critical point for stable solutions of the Robin problem \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u=f(u)&\text{in }\Omega\\ u>0&\text{in }\Omega\\ \partial_\nu u+\beta u=0&\text{on }\partial\Omega, \end{cases}…

In this paper we consider the following two-phase obstacle-problem-like equation in the unit half-ball $\Delta u = \lambda_{+}\chi_{\{u>0\}}-\lambda_{-}\chi_{\{u<0\}}, \lambda_\pm>0$. We prove that the free boundary touches the fixed one in…
Whether singularities can form in fluids remains a foundational unanswered question in mathematics. This phenomenon occurs when solutions to governing equations, such as the 3D Euler equations, develop infinite gradients from smooth initial…
Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $N\geq1$, let $K$, $M$ be two nonnegative functions and let $\alpha,\gamma>0$. We study existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for singular problems of the form $-\Delta…
We construct nonnegative weak solutions to the singular parabolic free boundary problem \[ \partial_t u - \Delta u = - \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} u} u_+^\gamma , \] where $\gamma \in (0,1]$, $u_+ := \max\{u,0\}$, and the term in the…
