In this paper we prove a partial $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity result in dimension $N=2$ for the optimal $p$-compliance problem, extending for $p\not = 2$ some of the results obtained by A. Chambolle, J. Lamboley, A. Lemenant, E. Stepanov…

We study the obstacle problem for integro-differential operators of order $2s$, with $s\in (0,1)$. Our main result establishes that the free boundary is $C^{1,\gamma}$ and $u\in C^{1,s}$ near all regular points. Namely, we prove the…

In this paper we study regularity estimates for the solution to an obstacle problem arising in stochastic impulse control theory. We prove using elementary methods the known sharp $C_{loc}^{1,1}$ estimate for the solution. The new proof is…

In the previous work [Interfaces Free Bound., 19, 351-369, 2017], de Queiroz and Shahgholian investigated the regularity of the solution to the obstacle problem with singular logarithmic forcing term \begin{equation*} -\Delta u = \log u \,…

We study the free boundary of solutions to the parabolic obstacle problem with fully nonlinear diffusion. We show that the free boundary splits into a regular and a singular part: near regular points the free boundary is $C^\infty$ in space…

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…
