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 obtain a universal energy estimate up to the boundary for stable solutions of semilinear equations with variable coefficients. Namely, we consider solutions to $- L u = f(u)$, where $L$ is a linear uniformly elliptic operator and $f$ is…
Let $N\ge 3$. We are concerned with a Cauchy problem of the semilinear heat equation \[ \begin{cases} \partial_tu-\Delta u=f(u), & x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\ t>0,\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x), & x\in\mathbb{R}^N, \end{cases} \] where $f(0)=0$, $f$ is…
In this paper, we study a parabolic free boundary problem in an exterior domain $$\begin{cases} F(D^2u)-\partial_tu=u^a\chi_{\{u>0\}}&\text{in }(\mathbb R^n\setminus K)\times(0,\infty),\\ u=u_0&\text{on }\{t=0\},\\ |\nabla u|=u=0&\text{on…
We consider the Bernoulli one-phase free boundary problem in a domain $\Omega$ and show that the free boundary $F$ is $C^{1,1/2}$ regular in a neighborhood of the fixed boundary $\partial \Omega$. We achieve this by relating the behavior of…
We analyze stable weak solutions to the fractional Gel'fand problem \begin{equation*} (-\Delta)^su=e^u\quad\mathrm{in}\quad \Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n. \end{equation*} We prove that the dimension of the singular set is at most $n-10s.$
We study a class of semilinear free boundary problems in which admissible functions $u$ have a topological constraint, or spanning condition, on their 1-level set. This constraint forces $\{u=1\}$, which is the free boundary, to behave like…
We investigate stable solutions of elliptic equations of the type \begin{equation*} \left \{ \begin{aligned} (-\Delta)^s u&=\lambda f(u) \qquad {\mbox{ in $B_1 \subset \R^{n}$}} \\ u&= 0 \qquad{\mbox{ on $\partial B_1$,}}\end{aligned}\right…
This paper continues to study the monostable cooperative system with nonlocal diffusion and free boundary, which has recently been discussed by [Du and Ni, 2020, arXiv:2010.01244]. We here aim at the four aspects: the first is to give more…
The first part of this paper is devoted to the derivation of a technical result, related to the stability of the solution of a reaction-diffusion equation $u_t-\Delta u = f(x,u)$ on $(0,\infty)\times \mathbb{R}^N$, where the initial datum…
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the problem of stabilization of fractional (in time) partial differential equations. We consider the following equation $$ \partial^{\alpha,\eta}_{t} u(t)=\mathcal{A}u(t)-\frac{\eta}{\Gamma…

We consider a one-phase free boundary problem governed by doubly degenerate fully non-linear elliptic PDEs with non-zero right hand side, which should be understood as an analog (non-variational) of certain double phase functionals in the…
