We provide a classification result for positive solutions to $\Delta u = u^{-\gamma}$ in the half space, under zero Dirichlet boundary condition.
For a parameter $\gamma\in(1,2)$, we study the fully nonlinear version of the Alt-Phillips equation, $F(D^2u)=u^{\gamma-1}$, for $u\ge 0.$ We establish the optimal regularity of the solution, as well as the $C^1$ regularity of the regular…
We focus on the classification of positive solutions to $(-\Delta)^s u=\frac{x_n^{\alpha}}{u^\gamma}$ in the half space with $\gamma>0$, subject to the Dirichlet condition. We show that when $-2s<\alpha<(\gamma-1)s$, all positive solutions…
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…

We investigate general semilinear (obstacle-like) problems of the form $\Delta u = f(u)$, where $f(u)$ has a singularity/jump at $\{u=0\}$ giving rise to a free boundary. Unlike many works on such equations where $f$ is approximately…
In this paper, we prove a theorem concerning the existence of three solutions for the following boundary value problem: \begin{equation*} -\mathcal{M}_{\lambda,\Lambda}^+(D^2u)-\Gamma|Du|^2=f(u)~~~\text{in}\ \Omega, u=0~~~\text{on}\…
We provide the classification of all the positive solutions to $-\Delta u=\frac{1}{u^\gamma}$ in the half space, under minimal assumption.
We prove existence of solutions to a nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation of the form \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta_{1} u+ \frac{|D u|}{(1-u)^{\gamma}}=g & \mbox{in $\Omega$,}\\ u=0 \hfill & \mbox{on $\partial\Omega$,} \end{cases} \] in a…
We construct nonnegative weak solutions to the singular parabolic free boundary problem \[ \partial_t u - \Delta u = - \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} u} u_+^\gamma , \] where $\gamma \in (0,1]$, $u_+ := \max\{u,0\}$, and the term in the…
We deal with existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of an elliptic boundary value problem modeled by \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \displaystyle -\Delta_p u= \frac{f}{u^\gamma} + g u^q & \mbox{in $\Omega$,} \\ u = 0 & \mbox{on…
In this survey we provide an overview of nonlinear elliptic homogeneous boundary value problems featuring singular zero-order terms with respect to the unknown variable whose prototype equation is $$ -\Delta u = {u^{-\gamma}} \ \text{in}\…
We classify global Lipschitz solutions to two-phase free boundary problems governed by concave fully nonlinear equations, as either two-plane solutions or solutions to a one-phase problem.
In this article we consider the existence of positive singular solutions on bounded domains and also classical solutions on exterior domains. First we consider positive singular solutions of the following problems: \begin{equation}…
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"…

We develop an existence and regularity theory for a class of degenerate one-phase free boundary problems. In this way we unify the basic theories in free boundary problems like the classical one-phase problem, the obstacle problem, or more…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ be a bounded domain and $\delta(x)$ be the distance of a point $x\in \Omega$ to the boundary. We study the positive solutions of the problem $\Delta u +\frac{\mu}{\delta(x)^2}u=u^p$ in $\Omega$, where $p>0,…
