In this paper we develop a boundary $\varepsilon$-regularity theory for optimal transport maps between bounded open sets with $C^{1,\alpha}$-boundary. Our main result asserts sharp $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity of transport maps at the boundary…

We study obstacle problems governed by two distinct types of diffusion operators involving interacting free boundaries. We obtain a somewhat surprising coupling property, leading to a comprehensive analysis of the free boundary. More…

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 regularity of solutions to the fully nonlinear thin obstacle problem. We establish local $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates on each side of the smooth obstacle, for some small $\alpha > 0$. Our results extend those of Milakis-Silvestre…

We study the free boundary of the porous medium equation with nonlocal drifts in dimension one. Under the assumption that the initial data has super-quadratic growth at the free boundary, we show that the solution is smooth in space and…

In this paper we discuss the obstacle problem for the $p$-Laplace operator. We prove optimal growth results for the solution. Of particular interest is the point-wise regularity of the solution at free boundary points. The most surprising…
