We prove an analogue for a one-phase free boundary problem of the classical gradient bound for solutions to the minimal surface equation. It follows, in particular, that every energy-minimizing free boundary that is a graph is also smooth.…

We provide perturbative estimates for the one-phase Stefan free boundary problem and obtain the regularity of flat free boundaries via a linearization technique in the spirit of the elliptic counterpart established by the first author.
The boundary value problem is examined for the system of elliptic equations of from $-\Delta u + A(x)u = 0 \quad\text{in} \Omega,$ where $A(x)$ is positive semidefinite matrix on $\mathbb{R}^{{k}\times{k}},$ and $\frac{\partial u}{\partial…
