Given~$s,\sigma\in(0,1)$ and a bounded domain~$\Omega\subset\R^n$, we consider the following minimization problem of $s$-Dirichlet plus $\sigma$-perimeter type $$ [u]_{ H^s(\R^{2n}\setminus(\Omega^c)^2) } +…
We prove the (optimal) $W^{1,\infty}$-regularity of weak solutions to the equation $-\Delta u = Q \; \mathcal{H}^{n-1} \llcorner \Gamma$ in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where $\Gamma \subset…
Building upon the recent results in \cite{FoSp17} we provide a thorough description of the free boundary for the fractional obstacle problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with obstacle function $\varphi$ (suitably smooth and decaying fast at…
We study the Willmore problem with free boundary by means of a new {\L}ojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality for functionals on infinite dimensional manifolds. In contrast to previous works, we do not rely on a gradient-like representation…
In this paper we study vector-valued almost minimizers of the energy functional $$ \int_D\left(|\nabla\mathbf{u}|^2+2|\mathbf{u}|\right)\,dx . $$ We establish the regularity for both minimizers and the "regular" part of the free boundary.…
We study the regularity of the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian under the assumption that the obstacle $\varphi$ satisfies $\Delta \varphi\leq 0$ near the contact region. Our main result establishes that…
We prove some detailed quantitative stability results for the contact set and the solution of the classical obstacle problem in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n \ge 2$) under perturbations of the obstacle function, which is also equivalent to studying…
We prove a local minimizing property for strictly stable free-boundary minimal hypersurfaces in the relative current setting. Let $\Sigma^n$ be a compact, two-sided, properly embedded free-boundary minimal hypersurface in a compact…
A proof for the lower bound is provided for the smallest eigenvalue of finite element equations with arbitrary conforming simplicial meshes. The bound has a similar form as the one by Graham and McLean [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 44 (2006), pp.…
We continue the analysis of the two-phase free boundary problems initiated in \cite{DK}, where we studied the linear growth of minimizers in a Bernoulli type free boundary problem at the non-flat points and the related regularity of free…
This paper studies the regularity of the free boundary for viscosity solutions to a parabolic Bernoulli-type free boundary problem with variable coefficients. The main result is that Lipschitz free boundaries are $C^1$ with a normal vector…
A free boundary problem for the dynamics of a glasslike binary fluid naturally leads to a singular perturbation problem for a strongly degenerate parabolic partial differential equation in 1D. We present a conjecture for an asymptotic…
We study minimizers of non-differentiable functionals modeled on the degenerate quenching problem. Our main result establishes the finiteness of the $(n-1)-$dimensional Hausdorff measure of the free boundary. The proof is based on optimal…
In this work, we investigate the continuity of the free boundary in a class of elliptic problems, with Neuman boundary condition. The main idea is a change of variable that allows us to reduce the problem to the one studied in [14].
We consider the free boundary problem arising from an energy functional which is the sum of a Dirichlet energy and a nonlinear function of either the classical or the fractional perimeter. The main difference with the existing literature is…
For each integer $g\geq 1$ we use variational methods to construct in the unit $3$-ball $B$ a free boundary minimal surface $\Sigma_g$ of symmetry group $\mathbb{D}_{g+1}$. For $g$ large, $\Sigma_g$ has three boundary components and genus…
This paper is dedicated to the spectral optimization problem $$ \mathrm{min}\left\{\lambda_1^s(\Omega)+\cdots+\lambda_m^s(\Omega) + \Lambda \mathcal{L}_n(\Omega)\colon \Omega\subset D \mbox{ s-quasi-open}\right\} $$ where $\Lambda>0,…
We consider the problem of optimal partition of a domain with respect to the sum of the principal eigenvalues and we prove for the first time regularity results for the free interface up to fixed boundary. All our results are quantitative…
In this paper we classify the nonnegative global minimizers of the functional \[ J_F(u)=\int_\Omega F(|\nabla u|^2)+\lambda^2\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \] where $F$ satisfies some structural conditions and $\chi_D$ is the characteristic function of a…
In this paper, we analyze the singular shape of the free boundary at degenerate points in a three dimensional axisymmetric compressible gravity flow. For all possible degenerate points on the free surface, we prove that the only nontrivial…
