We prove existence of strong solutions to a family of some semilinear parabolic free boundary problems by means of elliptic regularization. Existence of solutions is obtained in two steps: we first show some uniform energy estimates and…
We present in this paper a result about existence and convexity of solutions to a free boundary problem of Bernoulli type, with non constant gradient boundary constraint depending on the outer unit normal. In particular we prove that, in…
We study certain obstacle type problems involving standard and nonlocal minimal surfaces. We obtain optimal regularity of the solution and a characterization of the free boundary.
We consider a nonlinear Neumann problem, with periodic oscillation in the elliptic operator and on the boundary condition. Our focus is on problems posed in half-spaces, but with general normal directions that may not be parallel to the…
We study the Signorini problem near a fixed boundary, where the solution is "clamped down" or "glued." We show that in general the solutions are at least $C^{1/2}$ regular and that this regularity is sharp. We prove that near the actual…
We prove that flat or Lipschitz free boundaries of two-phase free boundary problems governed by fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic operators and with non-zero right hand side are $C^{1,\gamma}$.
The present paper establishes a certain duality between the Dirichlet and Regularity problems for elliptic operators with $t$-independent complex bounded measurable coefficients ($t$ being the transversal direction to the boundary). To be…
We study the regularity of the free boundary in the parabolic obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$ (and more general integro-differential operators) in the regime $s>\frac{1}{2}$. We prove that once the free boundary…
We explore regularity properties of solutions to a two-phase elliptic free boundary problem near a Neumann fixed boundary in two dimensions. Consider a function u, which is harmonic where it is not zero and satisfies a gradient jump…
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…
We prove a higher regularity result for the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian via a higher order boundary Harnack inequality.
We establish the existence, uniqueness, and $W^{1,2,p}$-regularity of solutions to fully-nonlinear, parabolic obstacle problems when the obstacle is the pointwise supremum of functions in $W^{1,2,p}$ and the nonlinear operator is required…
We study regularity properties of the free boundary for solutions of the porous medium equation with the presence of drift. We show the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary, when the solution is directionally monotone in space…

In this paper, we establish $C^{1, \alpha}$ regularity upto the boundary for a class of degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic equations with Neumann boundary conditions. Our main result Theorem 2.1 constitutes the boundary analogue of the…
In this paper we study the fully nonlinear free boundary problem $$ {{array}{ll} F(D^2u)=1 & \text{a.e. in}B_1 \cap \Omega |D^2 u| \leq K & \text{a.e. in}B_1\setminus\Omega, {array}. $$ where $K>0$, and $\Omega$ is an unknown open set. Our…
We prove the existence and $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of solutions to nonlocal fully nonlinear elliptic equations with gradient constraints. We do not assume any regularity about the constraints; so the constraints need not be $C^1$ or…
We study the obstacle problem for integro-differential operators of order $2s$, with $s\in (0,1)$. Our main result establishes that the free boundary is $C^{1,\gamma}$ and $u\in C^{1,s}$ near all regular points. Namely, we prove the…
