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.…

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 note, we use an epiperimetric inequality approach to study the regularity of the free boundary for the parabolic Signorini problem. We show that if the "vanishing order" of a solution at a free boundary point is close to $3/2$ or an…

We investigate the $C^{1+\alpha}$-regularity of solutions of parabolic equations $\partial_{t}v+H(v,Dv,D^{2}v,t,x)=0$. Our main result says that under rather general assumptions there exist $C$-viscosity and $L_{p}$-viscosity solutions…
