In this article, we deal with the global regularity of weak solutions to a class of problems involving the fractional $(p,q)$-Laplacian, denoted by $(-\Delta)^{s_1}_{p}+(-\Delta)^{s_2}_{q}$, for $s_2, s_1\in (0,1)$ and $1<p,q<\infty$. We…
We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for the Signorini problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. It is known that regular points are $(n-1)$-dimensional and $C^\infty$. However, even for $C^\infty$ obstacles $\varphi$, the set of…
We study an elliptic operator $L:=\mathrm{div}(A\nabla \cdot)$ on the upper half space. It is known that if the matrix $A$ is independent in the transversal $t$-direction, then the regularity boundary value problem is solvable with data in…
We study the regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the fractional Laplacian. We prove that if $u$ is a solution of $(-\Delta)^s u = g$ in $\Omega$, $u \equiv 0$ in $\R^n\setminus\Omega$, for some…
We show that the singular set $\Sigma$ in the classical obstacle problem can be locally covered by a $C^\infty$ hypersurface, up to an "exceptional" set $E$, which has Hausdorff dimension at most $n-2$ (countable, in the $n=2$ case).…
We study the obstacle problem with an elliptic operator in divergence form. We develop all of the basic theory of existence, uniqueness, optimal regularity, and nondegeneracy of the solutions. These results, in turn, allow us to begin the…
In this paper, we consider a free boundary problem of a semilinear nonhomogeneous elliptic equation with Bernoulli's type free boundary. The existence and regularity of the solution to the free boundary problem are established by use of the…
Variational inequalities with thin obstacles and Signorini-type boundary conditions are classical problems in the calculus of variations, arising in numerous applications. In the linear case many refined results are known, while in the…
The first half of this work gives a survey of the fractional Laplacian (and related operators), its restricted Dirichlet realization on a bounded domain, and its nonhomogeneous local boundary conditions, as treated by pseudodifferential…
We consider boundary Harnack inequalities for regional fractional Laplacian which are generators of censored stable-like processes on G taking \kappa(x,y)/|x-y|^{n+\alpha}dxdy, x,y\in G as the jumping measure. When G is a C^{1,\beta-1} open…
We show that the solutions to the nonlocal obstacle problems for the nonlocal $-\Delta_p^s$ operator, when the fractional parameter $s\to\sigma$ for $0<\sigma\leq1$, converge to the solution of the corresponding obstacle problem for…
We prove the existence and $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of solutions to nonlocal fully nonlinear elliptic equations with gradient constraints. We do not assume any regularity about the constraints; so the constraints need not be $C^1$ or…
The aim of this note is to review some recent developments on the regularity theory for the stationary and parabolic obstacle problems. After a general overview, we present some recent results on the structure of singular free boundary…
In this paper we are concerned with higher regularity properties of the elliptic system \[ \Delta\mathbf{u}= |\mathbf{u}|^{q-1}\mathbf{u}\chi_{\{|\mathbf{u}|>0\}},\qquad\mathbf{u}=(u^1,\dots,u^m) \] for $0\leq q<1$. We show analyticity of…
We study the obstacle problem with an elliptic operator in nondivergence form with principal coefficients in VMO. We develop all of the basic theory of existence, uniqueness, optimal regularity, and nondegeneracy of the solutions. These…
We study the regularity and well-posedness of physical solutions to the supercooled Stefan problem. Assuming only that the initial temperature is integrable, we prove that the free boundary, known to have jump discontinuities as a function…
We prove some detailed quantitative stability results for the contact set and the solution of the classical obstacle problem in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n \ge 2$) under perturbations of the obstacle function, which is also equivalent to studying…
We prove $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity of sufficiently flat free boundaries, for the thin one-phase problem in which the free boundary occurs on a lower dimensional subspace. This problem appears also as a model of a one-phase free boundary…
We start the investigation of free boundary variational models featuring varying singularities. The theory depends strongly on the nature of the singular power $\gamma(x)$ and how it changes. Under a mild continuity assumption on…
We give a short and self-contained proof of the Boundary Harnack inequality for a class of domains satisfying some geometric conditions given in terms of a state function that behaves as the distance function to the boundary, is subharmonic…
