For the Alt-Caffarelli problem, we study free boundary regularity of energy minimizers. In six dimensions, we show that free boundaries are analytic for generic boundary data. In general, we improve previous generic Hausdorff dimensions of…

We study the problem of finding a function u verifying --$\Delta$u = 0 in $\Omega$ under the boundary condition $\partial$u $\partial$n + g(u) = $\mu$ on $\partial$$\Omega$ where $\Omega$ $\subset$ R N is a smooth domain, n the normal unit…

We study nonlinear diffusion problems of the form $u_t=u_{xx}+f(u)$ with free boundaries. Such problems may be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species, with the free boundary representing the expanding front. For…

In this paper, we are concerned with stable solutions to the fractional elliptic equation $$ (-\Delta)^s u=e^u\mbox{ in }\mathbb R^{N}, $$ where $(-\Delta)^s$ is the fractional Laplacian with $0<s<1$. We establish the nonexistence of stable…

We consider the semilinear fractional equation $ (I-\Delta)^s u = a(x) |u|^{p-2}u$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, where $N \geq 3$, $0<s<1$, $2<p<2N/(N-2s)$ and $a$ is a bounded weight function. Without assuming that $a$ has an asymptotic profile at…

We study the parabolic obstacle problem $$\lap u-u_t=f\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \quad u\geq 0,\quad f\in L^p \quad \mbox{with}\quad f(0)=1$$ and obtain two monotonicity formulae, one that applies for general free boundary points and one for singular…

We study a class of semilinear free boundary problems in which admissible functions $u$ have a topological constraint, or spanning condition, on their 1-level set. This constraint forces $\{u=1\}$, which is the free boundary, to behave like…
