In a wide class of the so called Obstacle Problems of parabolic type it is shown how to improve the optimal regularity of the solution and as a consequence how to obtain space-time regularity of the corresponding free boundary.
In the seminal paper (Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 282, (1984).), the regularity of the free boundary of two-phase fluid in two dimensions via the so-called ACF energy functional was investigated. It was shown the…

We consider a one-phase free boundary problem with variable coefficients and non-zero right hand side. We prove that flat free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$ using a different approach than the classical supconvolution method of Caffarelli.…

We put together a general framework to deal with elliptic and parabolic equations associated with (nonlinear) nonlocal (fractional order) operators. Many well-known nonlocal operators enter into our framework, and in addition one may…
We prove the parabolic boundary Harnack inequality in parabolic flat Lipschitz domains by blow-up techniques, allowing for the first time a non-zero right-hand side. Our method allows us to treat solutions to equations driven by…

In this paper, we consider a class of variational problems with integral functionals involving nonlocal gradients. These models have been recently proposed as refinements of classical hyperelasticity, aiming for an effective framework to…
We study linear nonautonomous parabolic systems with dynamic boundary conditions. Next, we apply these results to show a theorem of local existence and uniqueness of a classical solution to a second order quasilinear system with nonlinear…
The aim of this thesis is to derive new gradient estimates for parabolic equations. The gradient estimates found are independent of the regularity of the initial data. This allows us to prove the existence of solutions to problems that have…
This work discusses the correct modeling of the fully nonlinear free surface boundary conditions to be prescribed in water waves flow simulations based on potential flow theory. The main goal of such a discussion is that of identifying a…
We study weak solutions for a class of free boundary problems which includes as a special case the classical problem of traveling waves on water of finite depth. We show that such problems are equivalent to problems in fixed domains and…
The inviscid multi-layer quasi-geostrophic equations are considered over an arbitrary bounded domain. The no-flux but non-homogeneous boundary conditions are imposed to accommodate the free fluctuations of the top and layer interfaces.…
We study equations from the area of peridynamics, which is an extension of elasticity. The governing equations form a system of nonlocal wave equations. Its governing operator is found to be a bounded, linear and self-adjoint operator on a…
