This paper deals with the Lipschitz regularity of minimizers for a class of variational obstacle problems with possible occurance of the Lavrentiev phenomenon. In order to overcome this problem, the availment of the notions of relaxed…
We study the obstacle problem for fully nonlinear elliptic operators with an anisotropic degeneracy on the gradient: \[ \min \left\{f-|Du|^\gamma F(D^2u),u-\phi\right\} = 0 \quad\textrm{ in }\quad \Omega. \] We obtain existence of solutions…
These notes record and expand the lectures for the `Journ\'ees \'Equations aux D\'eriv\'ees Partielles 2018' held by the author during the week of June 11-15, 2018. The aim is to give a overview of the classical theory for the obstacle…
We develop methods to solve general optimal stopping problems with opportunities to stop that arrive randomly. Such problems occur naturally in applications with market frictions. Pivotal to our approach is that our methods operate on…

We characterize the solution to the Newton minimal resistance problem in a class of radial q-concave profiles. We also give the corresponding result for one-dimensional profiles. Moreover, we provide a numerical optimization algorithm for…
We introduce a notion of non-local almost minimal boundaries similar to that introduced by Almgren in geometric measure theory. Extending methods developed recently for non-local minimal surfaces we prove that flat non-local almost minimal…
We consider the vectorial analogue of the thin free boundary problem introduced in \cite{CRS} as a realization of a nonlocal version of the classical Bernoulli problem. We study optimal regularity, nondegeneracy, and density properties of…
We consider the behavior of the nonlocal minimal surfaces in the vicinity of the boundary. By a series of detailed examples, we show that nonlocal minimal surfaces may stick at the boundary of the domain, even when the domain is smooth and…
In this paper we discuss the obstacle problem for the $p$-Laplace operator. We prove optimal growth results for the solution. Of particular interest is the point-wise regularity of the solution at free boundary points. The most surprising…

We consider a hyperbolic free boundary problem by means of minimizing time discretized functionals of Crank-Nicolson type. The feature of this functional is that it enjoys energy conservation in the absence of free boundaries, which is an…
We obtain a full resolution result for minimizers in the exterior isoperimetric problem with respect to a compact obstacle in the large volume regime $v\to\infty$. This is achieved by the study of a Plateau-type problem with free boundary…
