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…

Recent work by Serfaty and Serra give a formula for the velocity of the free boundary of the obstacle problem at regular points [Serfaty-Serra 2018], and much older work by King, Lacey, and Vazquez gives an example of a singular free…

We study the higher regularity in nonlocal free boundary problems posed for general integro-differential operators of order $2s$. Our main result is for the nonlocal one-phase (Bernoulli) problem, for which we establish that $C^{2,\alpha}$…

We study the higher regularity of solutions and free boundaries in the Alt-Phillips problem $\Delta u=u^{\gamma-1}$, with $\gamma\in(0,1)$. Our main results imply that, once free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$, then they are $C^\infty$. In…
