We study a general class of elliptic free boundary problems equipped with a Dirichlet boundary condition. Our primary result establishes an optimal $C^{1,1}$-regularity estimate for $L^p$-strong solutions at points where the free and fixed…
In this note we study periodic homogenization of Dirichlet problem for divergence type elliptic systems when both the coefficients and the boundary data are oscillating. One of the key difficulties here is the determination of the fixed…
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…
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…
In this note, we find an equivalent boundary integral equation to the classical $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann problem. The new equation contains an equivalent regularity to the global regularity of the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann problem. We also…
In this paper we are concerned with a two phase boundary obstacle-type problem for the bi-Laplace operator in the upper unit ball. The problem arises in connection with unilateral phenomena for flat elastic plates. It can also be seen as an…
We study obstacle problems governed by two distinct types of diffusion operators involving interacting free boundaries. We obtain a somewhat surprising coupling property, leading to a comprehensive analysis of the free boundary. More…

We prove a regularity theorem for the free boundary of minimizers of the two-phase Bernoulli problem, completing the analysis started by Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman in the 80s. As a consequence, we also show regularity of minimizers of the…
We provide sufficient conditions for the continuity of the free-boundary in a general class of finite-horizon optimal stopping problems arising for instance in finance and economics. The underlying process is a strong solution of one…
This brief note addresses the free boundary problem arising from the steady two-dimensional seepage flow through a rectangular dam. The flow problem consists in finding the free boundary location, and the velocity and pressure fields. The…
We study regularity issues for systems of elliptic equations of the type \[ -\Delta u_i=f_{i,\beta}(x)-\beta \sum_{j\neq i} a_{ij} u_i |u_i|^{p-1}|u_j|^{p+1} \] set in domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, for $N \geq 1$. The paper is…
In this paper we study regularity properties of the free boundary problem from superconductivity close to a fixed boundary. If the origin is a free boundary point, then we show that the free boundary touches the fixed boundary tangentially.
In this paper we focus the attention on free boundary problems ruled by partial differential equations with nonstandard growth, presenting in particular some recent results. The interest in these problems stems from the diverse applications…
A general class of singular abstract Cauchy problems is considered which naturally arises in applications to certain Free Boundary Problems. Existence of an associated evolution operator characterizing its solutions is established and is…
We discuss some recent developments in the theory of free boundary problems, as obtained in a series of papers in collaboration with L. Caffarelli, A. Karakhanyan and O. Savin. The main feature of these new free boundary problems is that…
We study the free boundary regularity of the traveling wave solutions to a degenerate advection-diffusion problem of Porous Medium type, whose existence was proved in \cite{MonsaingonNovikovRoquejoffre}. We set up a finite difference scheme…
This note is devoted to continuity results of the time derivative of the solution to the one-dimensional parabolic obstacle problem with variable coefficients. It applies to the smooth fit principle in numerical analysis and in financial…
We study the obstacle problem for the Evolutionary p-Laplace Equation when the obstacle is discontinuous and without regularity in the time variable. Two quite different procedures yield the same solution.
Fractional-order elliptic problems are investigated in case of inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary data. The boundary integral form is proposed as a suitable mathematical model. The corresponding theory is completed by sharpening the mapping…
