In this note we derive an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the stable set of a hyperbolic set $\Lambda$ of a $C^2$ diffeomorphisms on a $n$-dimensional manifold. As a consequence we obtain that $\dim_H W^s(\Lambda)=n$ is…

In dimension $n=3$, we prove that the singular set of any stationary solution to the Liouville equation $-\Delta u=e^u$, which belongs to $W^{1,2}$, has Hausdorff dimension at most 1.

In this paper, we are concerned with the precise relationship between the Hausdorff dimension of possible singular point set $\mathcal{S}$ of suitable weak solutions and the parameter $\alpha$ in the nonlinear term in the following…

This paper examines the well-posedness of the Stefan problem with a dynamic boundary condition. To show the existence of the weak solution, the original problem is approximated by a limit of an equation and dynamic boundary condition of…

We consider the one-phase Stefan problem describing the evolution of melting ice. On the one hand, we focus on understanding the evolution of the free boundary near isolated singular points, and we establish for the first time upper and…

In this paper, we prove estimates on the dimension of the singular part of the free boundary for solutions to shape optimization problems with measure constraints. The focus is on the heat conduction problem studied by Aguilera, Caffarelli,…

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…

We study the Stefan problem with surface tension and radially symmetric initial data. In this context, the notion of a so-called physical solution, which exists globally despite the inherent blow-ups of the melting rate, has been recently…

We prove strong convergence to singular limits for a linearized fully inhomogeneous Stefan problem subject to surface tension and kinetic undercooling effects. Different combinations of $\sigma \to \sigma_0$ and $\delta \to\delta_0$, where…

We consider minimizers of the one-phase Bernoulli free boundary problem in domains with analytic fixed boundary. In any dimension $d$, we prove that the branching set at the boundary has Hausdorff dimension at most $d-2$. As a consequence,…

We consider the interior Stefan problem under radial symmetry in two dimension. A water ball surrounded by ice undergoes melting or freezing. We construct a discrete family of global-in-time solutions, both melting and freezing scenarios.…

We study the regularity of weak solutions to a certain class of second order parabolic system under the only assumption of continuous coefficients. By using the $A-$caloric approximation argument, we claim that the weak solution $u$ to such…

The aim of this note is to investigate the size of the singular set of a general class of free interface problems. We show porosity of the singular set, obtaining as a corollary that both its Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions are strictly…
