We develop an existence and regularity theory for a class of degenerate one-phase free boundary problems. In this way we unify the basic theories in free boundary problems like the classical one-phase problem, the obstacle problem, or more…
We study the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem associated to a phase transition modeled upon the degenerate two-phase Stefan problem. We prove that weak solutions are continuous up to the parabolic boundary and quantify the continuity by deriving a…
We investigate the Neumann problem for the critical semilinear elliptic equation in cones. The standard bubble provides a family of radial solutions, which are known to be the only positive solutions in convex cones. For nonconvex cones,…
We prove that flat or Lipschitz free boundaries of two-phase free boundary problems governed by fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic operators and with non-zero right hand side are $C^{1,\gamma}$.
We are concerned with rigorous mathematical analysis of shock diffraction by two-dimensional convex cornered wedges in compressible fluid flow governed by the nonlinear wave system. This shock diffraction problem can be formulated as a…
We examine the duality theory for a class of non-convex functions obtained by composing a convex function with a continuous one. Using Fenchel duality, we derive a dual problem that satisfies weak duality under general assumptions. To…
In this paper, we establish a priori estimates for a class of fully nonlinear equations with Neumann boundary conditions. By the continuity method, we have obtained the existence theorem for the Neumann problem.
We prove well-posedness results for the solution to an initial and boundary-value problem for an Allen-Cahn type equation describing the phenomenon of phase transitions for a material contained in a bounded and regular domain. The dynamic…
We study critical points of a one-parameter family of functionals arising in combustion models. The problems we consider converge, for infinitesimal values of the parameter, to Bernoulli's free boundary problem, also known as one-phase…
We consider the "thin one-phase" free boundary problem, associated to minimizing a weighted Dirichlet energy of the function in $\mathbb R^{n+1}_+$ plus the area of the positivity set of that function in $\mathbb R^n$. We establish full…
In this paper we consider the overdetermined boundary problem for a general second order semilinear elliptic equation on bounded domains of $\mathbf{R}^n$, where one prescribes both the Dirichlet and Neumann data of the solution. We are…
In this paper we focus the attention on free boundary problems ruled by partial differential equations with nonstandard growth, presenting in particular some recent results. The interest in these problems stems from the diverse applications…
In this paper, a class of fully nonlinear flows with nonlinear Neumann type boundary condition is considered. This problem was solved partly by the first author under the assumption that the flow is the parabolic type special Lagrangian…
In this paper, we prove several regularity results for the heterogeneous, two-phase free boundary problems $\mathcal {J}_{\gamma}(u)=\int_{\Omega}\big(f(x,\nabla u)+\lambda_{+}…
We describe a $p$-dimensional conformal defect of a free Dirac fermion on a $d$-dimensional flat space as boundary conditions on a conformally equivalent space $\mathbb{H}^{p+1} \times \mathbb{S}^{d-p-1}$. We classify allowed boundary…
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…
For a sufficiently regular open bounded set $D \subset R^2$ let us consider the equation $(-\Delta)^{1/2} \varphi(x) = 1$, $x \in D$ with the Dirichlet exterior condition $\varphi(x) = 0$, $x \in D^c$. $\varphi$ is the expected value of the…
In this article, we study a class of fully nonlinear double-divergence systems with free boundaries associated with a minimization problem. The variational structure of Hessian-dependent functional plays a fundamental role in proving the…
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…
