We study a variant of the Alt, Caffarelli, and Friedman free boundary problem with many phases and a slightly different volume term, which we originally designed to guess the localization of eigenfunctions of a Schr\"odinger operator in a…
We discuss the optimal regularity and nondegeneracy of a free boundary problem related to the fractional Laplacian. This work is related to, but addresses a different problem from, recent work of Caffarelli, Roquejoffre, and Sire. A variant…
We study the regularity of the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian under the assumption that the obstacle $\varphi$ satisfies $\Delta \varphi\leq 0$ near the contact region. Our main result establishes that…
The aim of this paper is first to give necessary and sufficient condition of existence (of free boundaries) for both Laplacian and bi-Laplacian operators in the case where the overdetermined condition is not constant. second, by using some…
In this paper, we prove several regularity results for the heterogeneous, two-phase free boundary problems $\mathcal {J}_{\gamma}(u)=\int_{\Omega}\big(f(x,\nabla u)+\lambda_{+}…

In this paper, we explore cooperative and competitive coupled obstacle systems, which, up to now, are new type obstacle systems and formed by coupling two equations belonging to classical obstacle problem. On one hand, applying the…
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.
We prove a regularity theorem for the free boundary of minimizers of the two-phase Bernoulli problem, completing the analysis started by Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman in the 80s. As a consequence, we also show regularity of minimizers of the…
We establish interior regularity and optimal growth estimates for sign-changing minimizers of the $p-$singular or $p-$degenerate quasilinear Alt--Phillips functional throughout the full range of $1<p<\infty$ and of the nonlinearity power…
In this paper we prove a classification result for axially symmetric one phase minimizers of the Alt-Phillips free boundary problem in dimensions 3, 4, and 5. To accomplish this, we establish a stability inequality that extends the one for…
We study the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem associated to a phase transition modeled upon the degenerate two-phase Stefan problem. We prove that weak solutions are continuous up to the parabolic boundary and quantify the continuity by deriving a…
We prove existence and regularity of solutions to degenerate and singular elliptic free boundary problems, where the volume of the positivity set of the solution is prescribed.
In this paper we establish the optimal interior regularity and the $C^{1,\gamma}$ smoothness of the regular part of the free boundary in the thin obstacle problem for a class of degenerate elliptic equations with variable coefficients.
We prove existence, uniqueness and regularity results for mixed boundary value problems associated with fully nonlinear, possibly singular or degenerate elliptic equations. Our main result is a global H\"older estimate for solutions,…
Existence and regularity of minimizers in elliptic free boundary problems have been extensively studied in the literature. We initiate the corresponding study of higher critical points by considering a superlinear free boundary problem…

We consider a one-phase free boundary problem with variable coefficients and non-zero right hand side. We prove that flat free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$ using a different approach than the classical supconvolution method of Caffarelli.…
