We prove local $C^{0,\alpha}$- and $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity for the local solution to an obstacle problem with non-standard growth. These results cover as special cases standard, variable exponent, double phase and Orlicz growth.
We prove optimal regularity and a detailed analysis of the free boundary of the solutions to the thin obstacle problem for nonparametric minimal surfaces with flat obstacles.
We prove existence of strong solutions to a family of some semilinear parabolic free boundary problems by means of elliptic regularization. Existence of solutions is obtained in two steps: we first show some uniform energy estimates and…
We establish the well-posedness of the nonlocal mean curvature flow of order ${\alpha\in(0,1)}$ for periodic graphs on $\mathbb{R}^n$ in all subcritical little H\"older spaces ${\rm h}^{1+\beta}(\mathbb{T}^n)$ with $\beta\in(0,1)$.…

In this paper, we are interested in obtaining a unified approach for $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates for weak solutions of quasilinear parabolic equations, the prototype example being \[ u_t - \text{div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) = 0. \] without…
A posteriori estimates give bounds on the error between the unknown solution of a partial differential equation and its numerical approximation. We present here the methodology based on H1-conforming potential and H(div)-conforming…

The key point to prove the optimal $C^{1,\frac12}$ regularity of the thin obstacle problem is that the frequency at a point of the free boundary $x_0\in\Gamma(u)$, say $N^{x_0}(0^+,u)$, satisfies the lower bound $N^{x_0}(0^+,u)\ge\frac32$.…
