We study the minimum problem for the functional $\int_{\Omega}\bigl( \vert \nabla \mathbf{u} \vert^{2} + Q^{2}\chi_{\{\vert \mathbf{u}\vert>0\}} \bigr)dx$ with the constraint $u_i\geq 0$ for $i=1,\cdots,m$ where…
We study the free boundary of solutions to the parabolic obstacle problem with fully nonlinear diffusion. We show that the free boundary splits into a regular and a singular part: near regular points the free boundary is $C^\infty$ in space…
This is a continuation of our earlier work [14] on the Monge-Amp\`ere obstacle problem \[ \det D^2 v = v^q \chi_{\{v>0\}}, \quad v \geq 0 \text{ convex} \] with $q \in [0,n)$, where we studied the regularity of the strictly convex part of…

In this paper we study one dimensional parabolic free boundary value problem with a nonlocal (integro-differential) condition on the free boundary. We establish global existence-uniqueness of classical solutions assuming that the…
The O(3) nonlinear sigma model with boundary, in dimension two, is considered. An algorithm to determine all its soliton solutions that preserve a rotational symmetry in the boundary is exhibited. This nonlinear problem is reduced to that…
We prove that the area of a free boundary minimal surface $\Sigma^2 \subset B^n$, where $B^n$ is a geodesic ball contained in a round hemisphere $\mathbb{S}^n_+$, is at least as big as that of a geodesic disk with the same radius as $B^n$;…
We develop arguments on the critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, along with convexity and compactness techniques to investigate existence of solution of the multivalued equation $\displaystyle -…
We study regularity properties of the free boundary for solutions of the porous medium equation with the presence of drift. We show the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary, when the solution is directionally monotone in space…
In this paper we consider a free boundary problem in the 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space $\l^3$ which deals spacelike surfaces whose mean curvature is a linear function of the time coordinate and the boundary moves in a given support…
Some classification results for closed surfaces in Berger spheres are presented. On the one hand, a Willmore functional for isometrically immersed surfaces into an homogeneous space $\mathbb{E}^{3}(\kappa,\tau)$ with isometry group of…
We construct a boundary integral formula for harmonic functions on open, smoothly-bordered subdomains of Riemann surfaces embeddable into $\C\P^2$. The formula may be considered as an analogue of the Green's formula for domains in $\C$.
We study new Willmore-type variational problem for a hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ equipped with an $s$-dimensional foliation ${\cal F}$. Its general version is the Reilly-type functional $WF_{n,s}=\int_M F(\sigma^{\cal…
For any compact surface $\Sigma$ with smooth, non-empty boundary, we construct a free boundary minimal immersion into a Euclidean Ball $\mathbb{B}^N$ where $N$ is controlled in terms of the topology of $\Sigma$. We obtain these as…
Given a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, we study the following anisotropic Neumann problem $$ \begin{cases} -\nabla(a(x)\nabla u)+a(x)u=\lambda a(x) u^{p-1}e^{u^p},\,\,\,\, u>0\,\,\,\,\, \textrm{in}\,\,\,\,\,…
We prove an analogue for a one-phase free boundary problem of the classical gradient bound for solutions to the minimal surface equation. It follows, in particular, that every energy-minimizing free boundary that is a graph is also smooth.…
