We study a two-phase free boundary problem in which the two-phases satisfy an impenetrability condition. Precisely, we have two ordered positive functions, which are harmonic in their supports, satisfy a Bernoulli condition on the one-phase…

We consider the Bernoulli one-phase free boundary problem in a domain $\Omega$ and show that the free boundary $F$ is $C^{1,1/2}$ regular in a neighborhood of the fixed boundary $\partial \Omega$. We achieve this by relating the behavior of…

In this paper, we consider a vector-valued one-phase Bernoulli-type free boundary problem on a metric measure space $(X,d,\mu)$ with Riemannian curvature-dimension condition $RCD(K,N)$. We first prove the existence and the local Lipschitz…

In the classical homogeneous one-phase Bernoulli-type problem, the free boundary consists of a "regular" part and a "singular" part, as Alt and Caffarelli have shown in their pioneer work (J. Reine Angew. Math., 325, 105-144, 1981) that…

We study the higher regularity in nonlocal free boundary problems posed for general integro-differential operators of order $2s$. Our main result is for the nonlocal one-phase (Bernoulli) problem, for which we establish that $C^{2,\alpha}$…

In this paper we study the regularity of the free boundary for a vector-valued Bernoulli problem, with no sign assumptions on the boundary data. More precisely, given an open, smooth set of finite measure $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$,…

We study the regularity of minimizers of a multiphase vectorial Bernoulli free boundary problem. This problem consists in a minimization problem for the Bernoulli functional over families of Sobolev functions with disjoint supports and non…

In this paper we study the two-phase Bernoulli type free boundary problem arising from the minimization of the functional $$ J(u):=\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^p +\lambda_+^p\,\chi_{\{u>0\}} +\lambda_-^p\,\chi_{\{u\le 0\}}, \quad 1<p<\infty. $$…

We prove new boundary regularity results for minimizers to the one-phase Alt-Caffarelli functional (also known as Bernoulli free boundary problem) in the case of continuous and H\"older-continuous boundary data. As an application, we use…

For a one-phase free boundary problem involving a fractional Laplacian, we prove that "flat free boundaries" are $C^{1,\alpha}$. We recover the regularity results of Caffarelli for viscosity solutions of the classical Bernoulli-type free…

In the classical obstacle problem, the free boundary can be decomposed into "regular" and "singular" points. As shown by Caffarelli in his seminal papers \cite{C77,C98}, regular points consist of smooth hypersurfaces, while singular points…
