Fractional difference equations provide a flexible mathematical framework for modeling complex systems with memory, hereditary, and non-local effects. In this work, we study the stability of higher-order two-term fractional linear…
We show that the quotient of two caloric functions which vanish on a portion of an $H^{k+ \alpha}$ regular slit is $H^{k+ \alpha}$ at the slit, for $k \geq 2$. In the case $k=1$, we show that the quotient is in $H^{1+\alpha}$ if the slit is…
In a series of papers, we will develop systematically the basic spectral theory of (self-adjoint) boundary value problems for operators of Dirac type. We begin in this paper with the characterization of (self-adjoint) boundary conditions…

This paper investigates a class of $p$-obstacle problems with subcritical exponents having the form \begin{align} \mathrm{div}\left( a(x)|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\right) =m_1\chi_{\{u>0\}}-m_2u^{\lambda-1}\chi_{\{u>0\}} \ \text{in}\…
We consider an overdetermined problem for a two phase elliptic operator in divergence form with piecewise constant coefficients. We look for domains such that the solution $u$ of a Dirichlet boundary value problem also satisfies the…
We provide upper and lower bounds for the mean ${\mathscr M}(H)$ of $\sup_{t\geqslant 0} \{B_H(t) - t\}$, with $B_H(\cdot)$ a zero-mean, variance-normalized version of fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in(0,1)$. We find…
A class of diffusion driven Free Boundary Problems is considered which is characterized by the initial onset of a phase and by an explicit kinematic condition for the evolution of the free boundary. By a domain fixing change of variables it…
In this manuscript we deal with regularity issues and the asymptotic behaviour (as $p \to \infty$) of solutions for elliptic free boundary problems of $p-$Laplacian type ($2 \leq p< \infty$): \begin{equation*} -\Delta_p u(x) +…
We study expansions near the boundary of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the constant mean curvature equation in the hyperbolic space. With a characterization of remainders of the expansion by multiple integrals, we establish optimal…
We prove optimal regularity for the double obstacle problem when obstacles are given by solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations that are not $C^2$. When the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is not $C^2$ then the standard Bernstein technique fails…
We study the second order elliptic equations of non-divergence form in a planar domain with complicated geometry. In this case the domain winds around a fixed circle infinitely many times and converges to it when the rotating angle goes to…
A free boundary problem for the dynamics of a glasslike binary fluid naturally leads to a singular perturbation problem for a strongly degenerate parabolic partial differential equation in 1D. We present a conjecture for an asymptotic…
In this paper we study regularity properties of the free boundary problem from superconductivity close to a fixed boundary. If the origin is a free boundary point, then we show that the free boundary touches the fixed boundary tangentially.
This paper considers a class of nonlinear, degenerate drift- diffusion equations. We study well-posedness and regularity properties of the solutions, with the goal to achieve uniform H\"{o}lder regularity in terms of $L^p$-bound on the…

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…
In the classical obstacle problem, the free boundary can be decomposed into "regular" and "singular" points. As shown by Caffarelli in his seminal papers \cite{C77,C98}, regular points consist of smooth hypersurfaces, while singular points…
