These notes record and expand the lectures for the `Journ\'ees \'Equations aux D\'eriv\'ees Partielles 2018' held by the author during the week of June 11-15, 2018. The aim is to give a overview of the classical theory for the obstacle…

We develop a shape-Newton method for solving generic free-boundary problems where one of the free-boundary conditions is governed by the Bernoulli equation. The Newton-like scheme is developed by employing shape derivatives in the weak…

We consider a free boundary problem for the $p$-Laplace operator which is related to the so-called Bernoulli free boundary problem. In this formulation, the classical boundary gradient condition is replaced by a condition on the distance…
We investigate existence and regularity properties of one-phase free boundary graphs, in connection with the question of whether there exists a complete non-planar free boundary graph in high dimensions.
In this paper we consider a weakly coupled $p$-Laplacian system of a Bernoulli type free boundary problem, through minimization of a corresponding functional. We prove various properties of any local minimizer and the corresponding free…

In a wide class of the so called Obstacle Problems of parabolic type it is shown how to improve the optimal regularity of the solution and as a consequence how to obtain space-time regularity of the corresponding free boundary.
This brief note addresses the free boundary problem arising from the steady two-dimensional seepage flow through a rectangular dam. The flow problem consists in finding the free boundary location, and the velocity and pressure fields. The…
In this paper, we propose a review of the free boundary formulation for BVPs defined on semi-infinite intervals. The main idea and theorem are illustrated, for the reader convenience, by using a class of second-order BVPs. Moreover, we are…
A class of diffusion driven Free Boundary Problems is considered which is characterized by the initial onset of a phase and by an explicit kinematic condition for the evolution of the free boundary. By a domain fixing change of variables it…
We examine boundary regularity for a fully nonlinear free transmission problem. We argue using approximation methods, comparing the operators driving the problem with a limiting profile. Working natural conditions on the data of the…
We will study a free boundary value problem driven by a source term which is quite {\it irregular}. In the process, we will establish a monotonicity result, and regularity of the solution.
A free boundary problem for the dynamics of a glasslike binary fluid naturally leads to a singular perturbation problem for a strongly degenerate parabolic partial differential equation in 1D. We present a conjecture for an asymptotic…
We study the higher regularity in nonlocal free boundary problems posed for general integro-differential operators of order $2s$. Our main result is for the nonlocal one-phase (Bernoulli) problem, for which we establish that $C^{2,\alpha}$…
