We study the pointwise regularity of solutions to parabolic equations. As a first result, we prove that if the modulus of mean oscillation of $\Delta u -u_t$ at the origin is Dini (in $L^p$ average), then the origin is a Lebesgue point of…
We study the regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian. We prove that if $u$ is a weak solution of $(-\Delta)^s u=f$ in $\Omega$, $\mathcal N_s u=0$ in $\Omega^c$, then $u$ is $C^\alpha$…
We establish that the $C^{1,\gamma}$ regularity theory for translation invariant fractional order parabolic integro-differential equations (via Krylov-Safonov estimates) gives an improvement of regularity mechanism for solutions to a…
In the unit ball B(0,1), let $u$ and $\Omega$ (a domain in $\R$) solve the following overdetermined problem: $$\Delta u =\chi_\Omega\quad \hbox{in} B(0,1), \qquad 0 \in \partial \Omega, \qquad u=|\nabla u |=0 \quad \hbox{in} B(0,1)\setminus…
In this article we study functionals of the following type $$ \int_{\Omega} \Big ( \langle A(x,u)\nabla u, \nabla u\rangle + \Lambda (x,u) \Big )\,dx $$ here $A(x,u)= A_+(x)\chi_{\{u>0\}}+A_-(x) \chi _{\{u\leq 0\}}$ for some elliptic and…
In this paper we study a one phase free boundary problem for the p(x)-Laplacian with non-zero right hand side. We prove that the free boundary of a weak solution is a C^1 surface in a neighborhood of every free boundary point. We also…
In this paper we study the following parabolic system \begin{equation*} \Delta \u -\partial_t \u =|\u|^{q-1}\u\,\chi_{\{ |\u|>0 \}}, \qquad \u = (u^1, \cdots , u^m) \ , \end{equation*} with free boundary $\partial \{|\u | >0\}$. For $0\leq…
In this work we study the existence of solutions to the following critical fractional problem with concave-convex nonlinearities, \begin{equation*} \left \{ \begin{array}{l} (-\Delta)^su=\lambda u^q+u^{2_s^*-1},\ u>0\quad\text{in…
We study a commonly-used second-kind boundary-integral equation for solving the Helmholtz exterior Neumann problem at high frequency, where, writing $\Gamma$ for the boundary of the obstacle, the relevant integral operators map…
Recent work by Serfaty and Serra give a formula for the velocity of the free boundary of the obstacle problem at regular points [Serfaty-Serra 2018], and much older work by King, Lacey, and Vazquez gives an example of a singular free…
We consider the homogeneous equation ${\mathcal A} u=0$, where ${\mathcal A}$ is a symmetric and coercive elliptic operator in $H^1(\Omega)$ with $\Omega$ bounded domain in ${{\mathbb R}}^d$. The boundary conditions involve fractional power…
In the class of the so called non-dynamic Fractional Obstacle Problems of parabolic type, it is shown how to obtain higher regularity as well as optimal regularity of the space derivatives of the solution. Furthermore, at free boundary…
The paper considers the initial-boundary value problem for equation $D^\rho_t u(x,t)+ (-\Delta)^\sigma u(x,t)=0$, $\rho\in (0,1)$, $\sigma>0$, in an N-dimensional domain $\Omega$ with a homogeneous Dirichlet condition. The fractional…
We shall discuss the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for: $f(x,u, Du, D^2u) = \psi(x)$ where $f$ is a "natural" differential operator, with a restricted domain $F$, on a manifold $X$. By "natural" we mean operators that arise intrinsically…
In this paper we are concerned with singular points of solutions to the {\it unstable} free boundary problem $$ \Delta u = - \chi_{\{u>0\}} \qquad \hbox{in} B_1. $$ The problem arises in applications such as solid combustion, composite…
We consider the $2m$-th order elliptic boundary value problem $Lu=f(x,u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\R^N$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on $\partial\Omega$. The operator $L$ is a uniformly elliptic linear operator of…
We develop further the strategy implemented in our series of papers on inhomogeneous two-phase fee boundary problems, to show that flat or Lipschitz free boundaries of such problems are locally $C^{2,\gamma }.$
The key point to prove the optimal $C^{1,\frac12}$ regularity of the thin obstacle problem is that the frequency at a point of the free boundary $x_0\in\Gamma(u)$, say $N^{x_0}(0^+,u)$, satisfies the lower bound $N^{x_0}(0^+,u)\ge\frac32$.…
We consider fully nonlinear elliptic integro-differential operators with kernels of variable orders, which generalize the integro-differential operators of the fractional Laplacian type in \cite{CS}. Since the order of differentiability of…
