We analyze strict positivity at the boundary for nonnegative solutions of Robin problems in general (non-smooth) domains, e.g. open sets with rectifiable topological boundaries having finite Hausdorff measure. This question was raised by…
We study a one-phase Bernoulli free boundary problem with weight function admitting a discontinuity along a smooth jump interface. In any dimension $N\ge 2$, we show the $C^{1, \alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary outside of a singular…
In this paper, we obtain the boundary pointwise $C^{1,\alpha}$ and $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations. I.e., If $\partial \Omega$ is $C^{1,\alpha}$ (or $C^{2,\alpha}$) at $x_0\in \partial…

In this manuscript we deal with regularity issues and the asymptotic behaviour (as $p \to \infty$) of solutions for elliptic free boundary problems of $p-$Laplacian type ($2 \leq p< \infty$): \begin{equation*} -\Delta_p u(x) +…
We study a variant of the Alt, Caffarelli, and Friedman free boundary problem with many phases and a slightly different volume term, which we originally designed to guess the localization of eigenfunctions of a Schr\"odinger operator in a…
Using a direct approach, we prove a $2$-dimensional epiperimetric inequality for the one-phase problem in the scalar and vectorial cases and for the double-phase problem. From this we deduce, in dimension $2$, the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity…

We show optimal Lipschitz regularity for very weak solutions of the (measure-valued) elliptic PDE $-\mathrm{div}(A(x) \nabla u) = Q \; \mathcal{H}^{n-1} \llcorner \Gamma$ in a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. Here $\Gamma$ is a…
In this paper we study the two-phase Bernoulli type free boundary problem arising from the minimization of the functional $$ J(u):=\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^p +\lambda_+^p\,\chi_{\{u>0\}} +\lambda_-^p\,\chi_{\{u\le 0\}}, \quad 1<p<\infty. $$…

We study the boundary regularity of solutions of elliptic operators in divergence form with $C^{0,\alpha}$ coefficients or operators which are small perturbations of the Laplacian in non-smooth domains. We show that, as in the case of the…
We study the higher regularity of free boundaries in obstacle problems for integro-differential operators. Our main result establishes that, once free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$, then they are $C^\infty$. This completes the study of…

For the fully nonlinear Alt-Phillips problem with parameter $\gamma\in(1,2)$, we show that the free boundary intersects the fixed boundary tangentially where the Dirichlet data vanish. For this range of $\gamma$, this result is new even…
