In this paper, we prove local $C^{1}$ regularity of free boundaries for the double obstacle problem with an upper obstacle $\psi$, \begin{align*} \Delta u &=f\chi_{\Omega(u) \cap\{ u< \psi\} }+ \Delta \psi \chi_{\Omega(u)\cap \{u=\psi\}},…
We study the parabolic obstacle problem $$\lap u-u_t=f\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \quad u\geq 0,\quad f\in L^p \quad \mbox{with}\quad f(0)=1$$ and obtain two monotonicity formulae, one that applies for general free boundary points and one for singular…
We construct an efficient numerical scheme for solving obstacle problems in divergence form. The numerical method is based on a reformulation of the obstacle in terms of an L1-like penalty on the variational problem. The reformulation is an…

Finding the global minimum of non-convex functions is one of the main and most difficult problems in modern optimization. In the first part of the paper, we consider a certain class of "good" non-convex functions that can be bounded above…
We establish the higher differentiability of solutions to a class of obstacle problems for integral functionals where the convex integrand f satisfies p-growth conditions with respect to the gradient variable. We derive that the higher…
