We construct a smooth axially symmetric solution to the classical one phase free boundary problem in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$. Its free boundary is of \textquotedblleft catenoid\textquotedblright\ type. This is a higher dimensional analogy of the…
We study free boundary problem of Fisher-KPP equation $u_t=u_{xx}+u(1-u),\ t>0,\ ct<x<h(t)$. The number $c>0$ is a given constant, $h(t)$ is a free boundary which is determined by the Stefan-like condition. This model may be used to…
We study the interior Bernoulli free boundary problem for the infinity Laplacian. Our results cover existence, uniqueness, and characterization of solutions (above a threshold representing the "infinity Bernoulli constant"), their…
We consider a one-phase free boundary problem with variable coefficients and non-zero right hand side. We prove that flat free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$ using a different approach than the classical supconvolution method of Caffarelli.…
In this work, we study local minimizers of elliptic functionals with strong absorption terms and unbounded, sign-changing sources. These problems naturally interpolate between two classical free boundary problems: Bernoulli-type (cavity)…
We present in this paper a result about existence and convexity of solutions to a free boundary problem of Bernoulli type, with non constant gradient boundary constraint depending on the outer unit normal. In particular we prove that, in…

In this work we consider topology optimization of systems, which are governed by the external Bernoulli free boundary problem. We utilize the so-called pseudo-solid approach to solve the governing free boundary problems during the…
We prove a regularity theorem for the free boundary of minimizers of the two-phase Bernoulli problem, completing the analysis started by Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman in the 80s. As a consequence, we also show regularity of minimizers of the…
We develop a shape-Newton method for solving generic free-boundary problems where one of the free-boundary conditions is governed by the Bernoulli equation. The Newton-like scheme is developed by employing shape derivatives in the weak…
We prove an existence result for a free boundary problem inspired by the modelization of accretive growth. The growth process is formulated through a level-set approach, leading to a boundary-value problem for a Hamilton-Jacobi equation…
We investigate a class of n-dimensional free boundary elliptic problems which includes the dam problem, the aluminum problem, and the lubrication problem. We establish that the free boundary in this class is a porous set, which implies its…
