The regularity of the free boundary in optimal transportation is equivalent to that of the potential function along the free boundary. By establishing new geometric estimates of the free boundary and studying the second boundary value…
This paper concerns the regularity and geometry of the free boundary in the optimal partial transport problem for general cost functions. More specifically, we prove that a $C^1$ cost implies a locally Lipschitz free boundary. As an…
In this paper, we obtain some regularities of the free boundary in optimal transportation with the quadratic cost. Our first result is about the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary for optimal partial transport between convex…
We study the obstacle problem with an elliptic operator in nondivergence form with principal coefficients in VMO. We develop all of the basic theory of existence, uniqueness, optimal regularity, and nondegeneracy of the solutions. These…
In this paper we establish the exact growth of the solution of the singular quasilinear p-parabolic obstacle problem near the free boundary from which we deduce its porosity.
Notes of my lectures at the CIME (Levico Terme, june 2015). The lectures gave an overview of the L\"uroth problem, its history, the counter-examples found in the 70's, and the recent developments on stable rationality following the new…
Consider the parabolic free boundary problem $$ \Delta u - \partial_t u = 0 \textrm{in} \{u>0\}, |\nabla u|=1 \textrm{on} \partial\{u>0\} . $$ For a realistic class of solutions, containing for example {\em all} limits of the singular…
Motivated by a nonlocal free boundary problem, we study uniform properties of solutions to a singular perturbation problem for a boundary-reaction-diffusion equation, where the reaction term is of combustion type. This boundary problem is…
We study the regularity of free boundaries in the multiple elastic membrane problem in the plane. We prove the uniqueness of blow-ups, and that the free boundaries are $C^{1,\log}$-curves near a regular intersection point.
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…
The aim of this paper is to study a free boundary problem for a uniformly elliptic fully non-linear operator. Under certain assumptions we show that free and fixed boundaries meet tangentially at contact points.
Motivated by problems arising in geometric flows, we prove several regularity results for systems of local and nonlocal equations, adapting to the parabolic case a neat argument due to Caffarelli. The geometric motivation of this work comes…
In this paper, we have defined the free boundary formulation for two extended Blasius problems. These problems are of interest in boundary layer theory and are deduced from the governing partial differential equations by using appropriate…
We provide a brief outlook on recent developments in regularity theory for nonuniformly elliptic problems, with special emphasis on those of variational nature.
These are short notes from a series of lectures given at the University of Rennes in June 2013, at the University of Bonn in July 2013, at the XVIIth Brazilian School of Probability in Mambucaba in August 2013, and at ETH Zurich in…
We consider a free boundary problem for the $p$-Laplace operator which is related to the so-called Bernoulli free boundary problem. In this formulation, the classical boundary gradient condition is replaced by a condition on the distance…
We present a series of recent results on some new classes of free boundary problems. Differently from the classical literature, the problems considered have either a "nonlocal" feature (e.g., the interaction or/and the interfacial energy…
In this paper, we propose a review of the free boundary formulation for BVPs defined on semi-infinite intervals. The main idea and theorem are illustrated, for the reader convenience, by using a class of second-order BVPs. Moreover, we are…
Semi-linear elliptic boundary problems with non-linearities of product type are considered, in particular the stationary Navier--Stokes equations. Regularity and existence results are dealt with in the Besov and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces,…
Local volume-constrained minimizers in anisotropic capillarity problems develop free boundaries on the walls of their containers. We prove the regularity of the free boundary outside a closed negligible set, showing in particular the…
