In this paper, we prove that a domain which verifies some integral inequality is either (strictly) contained in the solution of some free boundary problem, or it coincides with an $N$-ball. We also present new overdetermined value problems…
We study a fractional analogue of a plasma problem arising from physics. Specifically, for a fixed bounded domain $\Omega$ we study solutions to the eigenfunction equation \[ (- \Delta)^s u = \lambda(u- \gamma)_+ \] with $u \equiv 0$ on…
Let $D$ be a bounded $C^2$-domain. Consider the following Dirichlet initial-boundary problem of nonlocal operators with a drift: $$ \partial_t u={\mathscr L}^{(\alpha)}_\kappa u+b\cdot \nabla u+f\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathbb R_+\times D,\ \…
We study semilinear problems in bounded $C^{1,1}$ domains for non-local operators with a boundary condition. The operators cover and extend the case of the spectral fractional Laplacian. We also study harmonic functions with respect to the…
In this article, we study the existence of insensitizing controls for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation with dynamic boundary conditions. Here, we have a partially unknown data of the system, and the problem consists in finding…
We discuss some recent developments in the theory of free boundary problems, as obtained in a series of papers in collaboration with L. Caffarelli, A. Karakhanyan and O. Savin. The main feature of these new free boundary problems is that…
We study a Dirichlet-type boundary value problem for a pseudodifferential equation driven by the fractional Laplacian, proving the existence of three nonzero solutions. When the reaction term is sublinear at infinity, we apply the second…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with $n \ge 1$. We assume that the boundary $\Gamma$ of $\Omega$ is Lipschitz. Consider the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator $N_0$ associated with a system in divergence form of size $m$…
We study the regularity of the interface for a new free boundary problem introduced by Caffarelli and Kriventsov. We show that for minimizers of the functional \[ F_1(A,u) = \int_A |\nabla u|^2 d\mathcal{L}^n + \int_{\partial A} u^2 +…
We consider the van der Waals' free energy functional, with a scaling small parameter epsilon, in the plane domain given by the first quadrant, and inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The boundary data are chosen in such a way that…
We consider the behaviour of holomorphic functions on a bounded open subset of the plane, satisfying a Lipschitz condition with exponent $\alpha$, with $0<\alpha<1$, in the vicinity of an exceptional boundary point where all such functions…
We consider the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem on irregular domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Two types of regularity results will be discussed: the $W^{1,p}$ regularity and a non-tangential maximal function estimate. The domain is assumed to be…
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…
One-dimensional free boundary problem for a nonlinear diffusion - convection equation with a Dirichlet condition at fixed face $x=0$, variable in time, is considered. Throught several transformations the problem is reduced to a free…
We derive a priori bounds for positive supersolutions of $ - \Delta_{p} u = \rho(x) f(u) $, where $p>1$ and $\Delta_{p}$ is the $p$-Laplace operator, in a smooth bounded domain of $R^{N}$ with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. We apply…
We consider three-dimensional Einstein gravity in Euclidean signature with a finite boundary of torus topology endowed with an induced metric of fixed conformal class and a constant trace of extrinsic curvature $K$. For vanishing, positive,…

We consider an explicitly solvable model (formulated in the Riemannian geometry terms) for a stationary wave process in a specific thin domain with the Dirichlet boundary conditions on the boundary of the domain. The transition from the…
Dynamical quantum phase transitions occur when a dynamical free energy becomes non-analytic at critical \emph{times}. They have been shown to exist in, among other systems, topological insulators and superconductors. Additionally in both…
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…
