For $N\geq 4$, we let $\Omega$ to be a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $\Gamma$ a smooth closed submanifold of $\Omega$ of dimension $k$ with $1\leq k \leq N-2$ and $h$ a continuous function defined on $\Omega$. We denote by…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$ be an open set. Given a boundary datum $g$ on $\partial\Omega$ and a function $K:\bar {\Omega} \to\mathcal{K}$, the family of all compact convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, we prove the existence of…

In the classical homogeneous one-phase Bernoulli-type problem, the free boundary consists of a "regular" part and a "singular" part, as Alt and Caffarelli have shown in their pioneer work (J. Reine Angew. Math., 325, 105-144, 1981) that…

Given a bounded open set $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we study sequences of quadratic functionals on the Sobolev space $H^1_0(\Omega)$, perturbed by sequences of bounded linear functionals. We prove that their $\Gamma$-limits, in the weak…

In this paper, we consider the following free boundary problem $$ (P)\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \Delta u = \lambda \phi(x)\Sum_{i=1}^n H(u-\mu_i )& \quad \mbox{ in }\ \Omega=\Omega_2\setminus \overline{\Omega}_1, \\[0.3cm]u =0 &\quad \mbox{…

We show optimal Lipschitz regularity for very weak solutions of the (measure-valued) elliptic PDE $-\mathrm{div}(A(x) \nabla u) = Q \; \mathcal{H}^{n-1} \llcorner \Gamma$ in a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. Here $\Gamma$ is a…

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…

Suppose $w$ is a sense-preserving harmonic mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that $w(\mathbb{D})\subseteq\mathbb{D}$ and $w$ has a zero of order $p\geq1$ at $z=0$. In this paper, we first improve the Schwarz lemma for $w$, and…

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…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. One is to enrich from a geometrical point of view the theory of octonionic slice regular functions. We first prove a boundary Schwarz lemma for slice regular self-mappings of the open unit ball of the…

We consider a free boundary problem in an exterior domain \begin{cases}\begin{array}{cc} Lu=g(u) & \text{in }\Omega\setminus K, \\ u=1 & \text{on }\partial K,\\ |\nabla u|=0 &\text{on }\partial \Omega, \end{array}\end{cases} where $K$ is a…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with $n \ge 1$. We assume that the boundary $\Gamma$ of $\Omega$ is Lipschitz. Consider the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator $N_0$ associated with a system in divergence form of size $m$…
