When semi-infinite phononic crystals (PCs) are in contact, localized modes may exist at their boundary. The central question is generally to predict their existence and to determine their stability. With the rapid expansion of the field of…

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…

Convertible bonds give rise to the so-called free boundary; i.e., an unknown boundary between continuation and conversion regions of the bond. The characteristic feature of such a bond, with an extra call feature, is that the free boundary…
