We consider minimizers of the one-phase Bernoulli free boundary problem in domains with analytic fixed boundary. In any dimension $d$, we prove that the branching set at the boundary has Hausdorff dimension at most $d-2$. As a consequence,…

In the seminal paper (Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 282, (1984).), the regularity of the free boundary of two-phase fluid in two dimensions via the so-called ACF energy functional was investigated. It was shown the…

We prove a regularity theorem for the free boundary of minimizers of the two-phase Bernoulli problem, completing the analysis started by Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman in the 80s. As a consequence, we also show regularity of minimizers of the…

We study critical points of a one-parameter family of functionals arising in combustion models. The problems we consider converge, for infinitesimal values of the parameter, to Bernoulli's free boundary problem, also known as one-phase…

Bernoulli's free boundary problem is an overdetermined problem in which one seeks an annular domain such that the capacitary potential satisfies an extra boundary condition. There exist two different types of solutions called elliptic and…
