We study viscosity solutions to the classical one-phase problem and its thin counterpart. In low dimensions, we show that when the free boundary is the graph of a continuous function, the solution is the half-plane solution. This answers,…
If a variational problem comes with no boundary conditions prescribed beforehand, and yet these arise as a consequence of the variation process itself, we speak of a free boundary values variational problem. Such is, for instance, the…
We provide new examples of sub-Riemannian manifolds with boundary equipped with a smooth measure that satisfy the $\mathsf{RCD}(K , N)$ condition. They are constructed by equipping the half-plane, the hemisphere and the hyperbolic…
In this article we study a Bernoulli-type free boundary problem and generalize a work of Henrot and Shahgholian in \cite{HS1} to $\mathcal{A}$-harmonic PDEs. These are quasi-linear elliptic PDEs whose structure is modeled on the $p$-Laplace…
We continue the analysis of the two-phase free boundary problems initiated in \cite{DK}, where we studied the linear growth of minimizers in a Bernoulli type free boundary problem at the non-flat points and the related regularity of free…
We consider an elliptic-parabolic free boundary problem that models the fluid flow through a partially saturated porous medium. The free boundary arises as the interface separating the saturated and unsaturated regions. Our main goal is to…
This brief note addresses the free boundary problem arising from the steady two-dimensional seepage flow through a rectangular dam. The flow problem consists in finding the free boundary location, and the velocity and pressure fields. The…
In this paper, we investigate the Dirichlet boundary value problem on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds, focusing on the non-existence of bounded (viscosity) solutions to semi-linear elliptic equations of the form $\Delta u + f(u) = 0$ in domains…
Motivated by its relation to models of flame propagation, we study globally Lipschitz solutions of $\Delta u=f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $f$ is smooth, non-negative, with support in the interval $[0,1]$. In such setting, any "blow-down"…
Let $C$ be a strictly convex domain in a $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a constant and let $\Sigma$ be a constant mean curvature surface with free boundary in $C$. We provide a pinching…
We study the spectrum of phase transitions with prescribed mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds. These phase transitions are solutions to an inhomogeneous semilinear elliptic PDE that give rise to diffuse objects (varifolds) that limit to…
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}\…
Let (M,g) be a smooth connected compact Riemannian manifold of finite dimension n \geq 2 with a smooth boundary \partial M. We consider the problem -{\epsilon}^2\Delta_gu+u=|u|^{p-2}u, u>0 on M, \partial u/ \partial{\nu}=0 on \partial M…
In this paper we consider a quasilinear elliptic PDE, $\text{div} (A(x,u) \nabla u) =0$, where the underlying physical problem gives rise to a jump for the conductivity $A(x,u)$, across a level surface for $u$. Our analysis concerns…
We study classical solutions to the one-phase free boundary problem in which the free boundary consists of smooth curves and the components of the positive phase are simply-connected. We show that if two components of the free boundary are…
We investigate a class of n-dimensional free boundary elliptic problems which includes the dam problem, the aluminum problem, and the lubrication problem. We establish that the free boundary in this class is a porous set, which implies its…
In this work we demonstrate that a class of some one and two phase free boundary problems can be recast as nonlocal parabolic equations on a submanifold. The canonical examples would be one-phase Hele Shaw flow, as well as its two-phase…
It is well known that minimizers of the Allen-Cahn-type functional \[ J_\epsilon(u):=\int_\Omega\frac{\epsilon|\nabla u|^2}{2}+\frac{W(u)}{\epsilon}, \] where $W$ is a double-well potential, resemble minimal surfaces in the sense that their…
We study geometric and regularity properties of the largest subsolution of a one-phase free boundary problem under a very general free boundary condition in R2. Moreover, we provide density bounds for the positivity set and its complement…
In this paper we consider a free boundary problem in the 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space $\l^3$ which deals spacelike surfaces whose mean curvature is a linear function of the time coordinate and the boundary moves in a given support…
