In this paper we study the regularity of the free boundary for a vector-valued Bernoulli problem, with no sign assumptions on the boundary data. More precisely, given an open, smooth set of finite measure $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$,…
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 study a parabolic free boundary problem, arising from a model for the propagation of equi-diffusional premixed flames with high activation energy. If an initial data is compactly supported, then the solution vanishes in a finite time,…
In this article we establish for the first time the $C^s$ boundary regularity of solutions to nonlocal elliptic equations with kernels $K(y)\asymp |y|^{-n-2s}$. This was known to hold only when $K$ is homogeneous, and it is quite surprising…
In this paper, we prove boundary pointwise $C^{k,\alpha}$ regularity for any $k\geq 1$ for fully nonlinear parabolic equations. As an application, we give a direct and short proof of the higher regularity of the free boundaries in…
