We prove the existence of a solution to an 1-D free boundary problem which describes the propagation of disturbances of shock type, modeled by a non standard variational inequality.
In this paper we derive an estimate on the number of local maxima of the free boundary of some variational inequalities with pointwise gradient constraints. This also gives an estimate on the number of connected components of the free…

We investigate existence and regularity properties of one-phase free boundary graphs, in connection with the question of whether there exists a complete non-planar free boundary graph in high dimensions.
We show short time existence and uniqueness of $\C^{1,1}$ solutions to the mean curvature flow with obstacles, when the obstacles are of class $\C^{1,1}$. If the initial interface is a periodic graph we show long time existence of the…
