We consider a large family of branching-selection particle systems. The branching rate of each particle depends on its rank and is given by a function $b$ defined on the unit interval. There is also a killing measure $D$ supported on the…
Infinitely many particles of two types ("plus" and "minus") jump randomly along the one-dimensional lattice $\mathbf{Z}_{\varepsilon}=\varepsilon\mathbf{Z}$. Annihillations occur when two particles of different time occupy the same site.…

We study the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions of the equation $f_t = \Delta_p f = \text{div} (|Df|^{p-2} Df)$ under over-determined boundary conditions $f = 0$ and $|Df| = 1$. We show that if the initial data is concave and…
We study a free boundary problem which arises as the continuum version of a stochastic particles system in the context of Fourier law. Local existence and uniqueness of the classical solution are well known in the literature of free…
Starting with a quantum particle on a closed manifold without boundary, we consider the process of generating boundaries by modding out by a group action with fixed points, and we study the emergent quantum dynamics on the quotient…
In this volume a theory for models of transport in the presence of a free boundary is developed. Macroscopic laws of transport are described by PDEs. When the system is open, there are several mechanisms to couple the system with the…

We investigate the global existence of weak solutions to a free boundary problem governing the evolution of finitely extensible bead-spring chains in dilute polymers. The free boundary in the present context is defined with regard to a…
We introduce a free boundary model to example the effect of vesicle transport onto neurite growth. It consists of systems of drift-diffusion equations describing the evolution of the density of antero- and retrograde vesicles in each…
This is part II of our study on the free boundary problems with nonlocal and local diffusions. In part I, we obtained the existence, uniqueness, regularity and estimates of global solution. In part II here, we show a spreading-vanishing…
We introduce a system of Brownian particles, each absorbed upon hitting an associated moving boundary. The boundaries are determined by the conditional probabilities of the particles being absorbed before some final time horizon, given the…
We are concerned with the global bifurcation analysis of positive solutions to free boundary problems arising in plasma physics. We show that in general, in the sense of domain variations, the following alternative holds: either the shape…
We study a class of free boundary systems with nonlocal diffusion, which are natural extensions of the corresponding free boundary problems of reaction diffusion systems. As before the free boundary represents the spreading front of the…
Inspired by the recent work of Bertini and Posta, who introduced the boundary driven Brownian gas on $[0,1]$, we study boundary driven systems of independent particles in a general setting, including particles jumping on finite graphs and…
A well-posed initial-boundary value problem is formulated for the model problem of the vector wave equation subject to the divergence-free constraint. Existence, uniqueness and stability of the solution is proved by reduction to a system…
We study the line ensembles of non-crossing Brownian bridges above a hard wall, each tilted by the area of the region below it with geometrically growing pre-factors. This model, which mimics the level lines of the $(2+1)$D SOS model above…
The present paper deals with a free boundary problem modeling the growth process of necrotic multi-layer tumors. We prove the existence of flat stationary solutions and determine the linearization of our model at such an equilibrium.…
We study the asymptotics for large time of solutions to a one dimensional parabolic evolution equation with non-standard measure-valued right hand side, that involves derivatives of the solution computed at a free boundary point. The…
Motivated as a null model for comparison with data, we study the following model for a phylogenetic tree on $n$ extant species. The origin of the clade is a random time in the past, whose (improper) distribution is uniform on $(0,\infty)$.…
