We deal with the obstacle problem for the porous medium equation in the slow diffusion regime $m>1$. Our main interest is to treat fairly irregular obstacles assuming only boundedness and lower semicontinuity. In particular, the considered…

We establish an explicit $L^\infty(\Om)$ a priori estimate for weak solutions to subcritical elliptic problems with nonlinearity on the boundary, in terms of the powers of their $H^1(\Om)$ norms. To prove our result, we combine in a novel…

In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the incompressible two-dimensional Euler equations in the exterior of a single smooth obstacle when the obstacle becomes very thin tending to a curve. We extend results by…

We develop a new boundary condition for the weak inverse mean curvature flow, which gives canonical and non-trivial solutions in bounded domains. Roughly speaking, the boundary of the domain serves as an outer obstacle, and the evolving…

We establish H\"older stability of an inverse hyperbolic obstacle problem. Mainly, we study the problem of reconstructing an unknown function defined on the boundary of the obstacle from two measurements taken on the boundary of a domain…
