Existence and regularity of minimizers in elliptic free boundary problems have been extensively studied in the literature. We initiate the corresponding study of higher critical points by considering a superlinear free boundary problem…

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…

We study the regularity of minimizers to the functional \[ J(w)=\int_{\Omega} a^{ij}w_iw_j + Q\chi_{\{w>0\}}, \] over a bounded domain $\Omega$ and among the class of nonnegative functions in $W^{1,2}(\Omega)$ with prescribed boundary data.…
