We prove partial regularity of weakly stationary harmonic maps with (partially) free boundary data on manifolds where the domain metric may degenerate or become singular along the free boundary at the rate $d^\alpha$ for the distance…
In the present paper, conditions under which the images of uniformly convex sets through $C^{1,1}$ regular mappings between Banach spaces remain convex are established. These conditions are expressed by a certain quantitative relation…
We study the free boundary regularity of the traveling wave solutions to a degenerate advection-diffusion problem of Porous Medium type, whose existence was proved in \cite{MonsaingonNovikovRoquejoffre}. We set up a finite difference scheme…
Let $L=\DD+Z$ for a $C^1$ vector field $Z$ on a complete Riemannian manifold possibly with a boundary. By using the uniform distance, a number of transportation-cost inequalities on the path space for the (reflecting) $L$-diffusion process…
We prove the existence and $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of solutions to nonlocal fully nonlinear elliptic equations with gradient constraints. We do not assume any regularity about the constraints; so the constraints need not be $C^1$ or…
We examine the metrics that arise when a finite set of points is embedded in the real line, in such a way that the distance between each pair of points is at least 1. These metrics are closely related to some other known metrics in the…
Given two points in the plane, a set of obstacles defined by closed curves, and an integer $k$, does there exist a path between the two designated points intersecting at most $k$ of the obstacles? This is a fundamental and well-studied…
We consider the classical obstacle problem on bounded, connected Lipschitz domains $D \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. We derive quantitative bounds on the changes to contact sets under general perturbations to both the right hand side and the…
In this paper we study a one phase free boundary problem for the p(x)-Laplacian with non-zero right hand side. We prove that the free boundary of a weak solution is a C^1 surface in a neighborhood of every free boundary point. We also…
A coordinate-free proof of the Maximum Principle is provided in the specific case of an optimal control problem with fixed time. Our treatment heavily relies on a special notion of variation of curves that consist of a concatenation of…
This paper deals with the Lipschitz regularity of minimizers for a class of variational obstacle problems with possible occurance of the Lavrentiev phenomenon. In order to overcome this problem, the availment of the notions of relaxed…
Open discrete mappings with a modulus condition in metric spaces are considered. Some results related to local behavior of mappings as well as theorems about continuous extension to a boundary are proved.
There is a basic paradigm, called here the radius of well-posedness, which quantifies the "distance" from a given well-posed problem to the set of ill-posed problems of the same kind. In variational analysis, well-posedness is often…
We are concerned with inverse boundary problems for first order perturbations of the Laplacian, which arise as model operators in the acoustic tomography of a moving fluid. We show that the knowledge of the Dirichlet--to--Neumann map on the…
Within this chapter, we discuss control in the coefficients of an obstacle problem. Utilizing tools from H-convergence, we show existence of optimal solutions. First order necessary optimality conditions are obtained after deriving…
We study the isoperimetric problem in product spaces equipped with the uniform distance. Our main result is a characterization of isoperimetric inequalities which, when satisfied on a space, are still valid for the product spaces, up a to a…
A classical open problem in combinatorial geometry is to obtain tight asymptotic bounds on the maximum number of k-level vertices in an arrangement of n hyperplanes in d dimensions (vertices with exactly k of the hyperplanes passing below…

In this paper we give a comprehensive treatment of a two-penalty boundary obstacle problem for a divergence form elliptic operator, motivated by applications to fluid dynamics and thermics. Specifically, we prove existence, uniqueness and…
Given two points in the plane, and a set of "obstacles" given as curves through the plane with assigned weights, we consider the point-separation problem, which asks for the minimum-weight subset of the obstacles separating the two points.…
