We establish maximal local regularity results of weak solutions or local minimizers of \[ \operatorname{div} A(x, Du)=0 \quad\text{and}\quad \min_u \int_\Omega F(x,Du)\,dx, \] providing new ellipticity and continuity assumptions on $A$ or…

In this paper we study the fully nonlinear free boundary problem $$ {{array}{ll} F(D^2u)=1 & \text{a.e. in}B_1 \cap \Omega |D^2 u| \leq K & \text{a.e. in}B_1\setminus\Omega, {array}. $$ where $K>0$, and $\Omega$ is an unknown open set. Our…

This is a continuation of the first author's development of the theory of elliptic differential operators with edge degeneracies. That first paper treated basic mapping theory, focusing on semi-Fredholm properties on weighted Sobolev and…

For free boundary problems on Euclidean spaces, the monotonicity formulas of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman and Caffarelli-Jerison-Kenig are cornerstones for the regularity theory as well as the existence theory. In this article we establish the…

In the framework of Potential Theory we prove existence or the Perron-Weiner-Brelot-Bauer solution to the Dirichlet problem related to a family of totally degenerate, in the sense of Bony, differential operators. We also state and prove a…

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…

For $0<s<1$, we consider the nonlocal equation $(-\Delta)^s u = f$ over a Reifenberg flat domain $\Omega$ with $f \in C({\overline{\Omega}})$ and null Dirichlet exterior condition. Given $\alpha \in (0,s)$, we prove that weak solutions are…

Consider the Dirichlet problem with respect to an elliptic operator \[ A = - \sum_{k,l=1}^d \partial_k \, a_{kl} \, \partial_l - \sum_{k=1}^d \partial_k \, b_k + \sum_{k=1}^d c_k \, \partial_k + c_0 \] on a bounded Wiener regular open set…

We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for the Signorini problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. It is known that regular points are $(n-1)$-dimensional and $C^\infty$. However, even for $C^\infty$ obstacles $\varphi$, the set of…
