We introduce a new boundary Harnack principle in Lipschitz domains for equations with right hand side. Our approach, which uses comparisons and blow-ups, will adapt to more general domains as well as other types of operators. We prove the…

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…

Motivated by its relation to models of flame propagation, we study globally Lipschitz solutions of $\Delta u=f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $f$ is smooth, non-negative, with support in the interval $[0,1]$. In such setting, any "blow-down"…

In this paper we are concerned with higher regularity properties of the elliptic system \[ \Delta\mathbf{u}= |\mathbf{u}|^{q-1}\mathbf{u}\chi_{\{|\mathbf{u}|>0\}},\qquad\mathbf{u}=(u^1,\dots,u^m) \] for $0\leq q<1$. We show analyticity of…
