For the fully nonlinear Alt-Phillips problem with parameter $\gamma\in(1,2)$, we show that the free boundary intersects the fixed boundary tangentially where the Dirichlet data vanish. For this range of $\gamma$, this result is new even…

We study the boundary regularity of solutions of elliptic operators in divergence form with $C^{0,\alpha}$ coefficients or operators which are small perturbations of the Laplacian in non-smooth domains. We show that, as in the case of the…
We establish an optimal C^{1,\alpha}-regularity for viscosity solutions of degenerate/singular fully nonlinear elliptic equations by finding minimal regularity requirements on the associated operator.
In this paper we initiate the investigation of free boundary minimization problems ruled by general singular operators with $A_2$ weights. We show existence and boundedness of minimizers. The key novelty is a sharp $C^{1+\gamma}$ regularity…
In this note we study the boundary regularity of solutions to nonlocal Dirichlet problems of the form $Lu=0$ in $\Omega$, $u=g$ in $\mathbb R^N\setminus\Omega$, in non-smooth domains $\Omega$. When $g$ is smooth enough, then it is easy to…

We classify nontrivial, nonnegative, positively homogeneous solutions of the equation \begin{equation*} \Delta u=\gamma u^{\gamma-1} \end{equation*} in the plane. The problem is motivated by the analysis of the classical Alt-Phillips free…
We consider a function U satisfying a degenerate elliptic equation on (0,+\infty)\times R^N with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. The Neumann condition is prescribed on a bounded domain \Omega\subset R^N of class C^{1;1},…
We establish sharp boundary regularity estimates in $C^1$ and $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains for nonlocal problems of the form $Lu=f$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ in $\Omega^c$. Here, $L$ is a nonlocal elliptic operator of order $2s$, with $s\in(0,1)$.…
We investigate singular and degenerate behavior of solutions of the unstable free boundary problem $$\Delta u = -\chi_{\{u>0\}} .$$ First, we construct a solution that is not of class $C^{1,1}$ and whose free boundary consists of four arcs…
In this article, we prove the local $C^{0,\alpha}$ regularity and provide $C^{0,\alpha}$ estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear, possibly degenerate, elliptic equations associated to linear or nonlinear Neumann type boundary…
We prove that viscosity solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic equations with degeneracy of double phase type are locally $C^{1,\gamma}$-regular.
For the obstacle problem involving a convex fully nonlinear elliptic operator, we show that the singular set in the free boundary stratifies. The top stratum is locally covered by a $C^{1,\alpha}$-manifold, and the lower strata are covered…

We establish local interior Lipschitz continuity of the solutions of a class of free boundary elliptic problems assuming the coefficients of the equation of Dini mean oscillation in at least one direction. The novelty in this regularity…
Using a direct approach, we prove a $2$-dimensional epiperimetric inequality for the one-phase problem in the scalar and vectorial cases and for the double-phase problem. From this we deduce, in dimension $2$, the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity…
We study the higher regularity of free boundaries in obstacle problems for integro-differential operators. Our main result establishes that, once free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$, then they are $C^\infty$. This completes the study of…
