In this paper, we explore cooperative and competitive coupled obstacle systems, which, up to now, are new type obstacle systems and formed by coupling two equations belonging to classical obstacle problem. On one hand, applying the…
We prove the -- to the best knowledge of the authors -- first result on the fine asymptotic behavior of the regular part of the free boundary of the obstacle problem close to singularities. The result is motivated by our recent partial…
This paper revives a four-decade-old problem concerning regularity theory for (continuous) constraint maps with free boundaries. Dividing the map into two parts, the distance part and the projected image to the constraint, one can prove…

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…
While there are numerous results on minimizers or stable solutions of the Bernoulli problem proving regularity of the free boundary and analyzing singularities, much less in known about critical points of the corresponding energy. Saddle…
This is the sequel of the recent work (Du, Huang, Pu, Commun. Math. Phys, 2023, doi: 10.1007/s00220-023-04651-7) on axially symmetric gravity water waves with general vorticities, which has investigated the singular wave profile of the free…
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 higher regularity of free boundaries in obstacle problems for integro-differential operators. Our main result establishes that, once free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$, then they are $C^\infty$. This completes the study of…
The problem of stabilization of a system of coupled PDEs of the forth-order by means of boundary control is investigated. The considered setup arises from the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam model, and constitutes a generalization of…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of nontrivial weak solutions for the Prandtl-Batchelor type free boundary value elliptic problem driven by a power nonlinearity. The algebraic topology approach will be used to establish the…
We study regularity properties of the free boundary for solutions of the porous medium equation with the presence of drift. We show the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary, when the solution is directionally monotone in space…
In this paper we study regularity properties of the free boundary problem from superconductivity close to a fixed boundary. If the origin is a free boundary point, then we show that the free boundary touches the fixed boundary tangentially.
We give a comprehensive treatment of the parabolic Signorini problem based on a generalization of Almgren's monotonicity of the frequency. This includes the proof of the optimal regularity of solutions, classification of free boundary…

For systems of ordinary differential equations on a compact interval, we study the character of solvability of the most general linear boundary-value problems in Sobolev spaces. We find the indices of these problems and obtain a criterion…
In this note, we use an epiperimetric inequality approach to study the regularity of the free boundary for the parabolic Signorini problem. We show that if the "vanishing order" of a solution at a free boundary point is close to $3/2$ or an…
