We study the regularity of solutions of one dimensional variational obstacle problems in $W^{1,1}$ when the Lagrangian is locally H\"older continuous and globally elliptic. In the spirit of the work of Sychev ([Syc89, Syc91, Syc92]), a…

We consider a one-phase free boundary problem involving a fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\alpha$, $0<\alpha <1,$ and we prove that ``flat free boundaries" are $C^{1,\gamma}$. We thus extend the known result for the case $\alpha=1/2.$

We prove that optimal traffic plans for the mailing problem in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are stable with respect to variations of the given coupling, above the critical exponent $\alpha=1-1/d$, thus solving an open problem stated in the book "Optimal…

In this work, we show the generic uniqueness of minimizers for a large class of energies, including the Alt-Caffarelli and Alt-Phillips functionals. We then prove the generic regularity of free boundaries for minimizers of the one-phase…

For the singularly perturbed system \[\Delta u_{i,\beta}=\beta u_{i,\beta}\sum_{j\neq i}u_{j,\beta}^2, \quad 1\leq i\leq N,\] we prove that flat interfaces are uniformly Lipschitz. As a byproduct of the proof we also obtain the optimal…

The interface problem for the linear Schr\"odinger equation in one-dimensional piecewise homogeneous domains is examined by providing an explicit solution in each domain. The location of the interfaces is known and the continuity of the…
