We study the free boundary of solutions to the parabolic obstacle problem with fully nonlinear diffusion. We show that the free boundary splits into a regular and a singular part: near regular points the free boundary is $C^\infty$ in space…

We construct a smooth axially symmetric solution to the classical one phase free boundary problem in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$. Its free boundary is of \textquotedblleft catenoid\textquotedblright\ type. This is a higher dimensional analogy of the…
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…
The amplification of an external signal is a key step in direction sensing of biological cells. We consider a simple model for the response to a time-depending signal, which was previously proposed by the last three authors. The model…

In this work, we investigate the continuity of the free boundary in a class of elliptic problems, with Neuman boundary condition. The main idea is a change of variable that allows us to reduce the problem to the one studied in [14].
