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.
We show that for any uniformly parabolic fully nonlinear second-order equation with bounded measurable "coefficients" and bounded "free" term in any cylindrical smooth domain with smooth boundary data one can find an approximating equation…
The aim of this thesis is to derive new gradient estimates for parabolic equations. The gradient estimates found are independent of the regularity of the initial data. This allows us to prove the existence of solutions to problems that have…
This article is concerned with a system of semilinear parabolic equations with two free boundaries describing the spreading fronts of the invasive species in a mutualistic ecological model. The local existence and uniqueness of a classical…

We consider the $L^2$-boundedness of the solution itself of the Cauchy problem for wave equations with time-dependent wave speeds. We treat it in the one-dimensional Euclidean space. To study these, we adopt a simple multiplier method by…
We study the regularity of solutions to the obstacle problem for the parabolic biharmonic equation. We analyze the problem via an implicit time discretization, and we prove some regularity properties of the solution.
We prove a global existence result for weak solutions to a one-dimensional free boundary problem with flux boundary conditions describing swelling along a halfline. Additionally, we show that solutions are not only unique but also depend…
We study a free boundary problem on the lattice whose scaling limit is a harmonic free boundary problem with a discontinuous Hamiltonian. We find an explicit formula for the Hamiltonian, prove the solutions are unique, and prove that the…
We consider an elliptic-parabolic free boundary problem that models the fluid flow through a partially saturated porous medium. The free boundary arises as the interface separating the saturated and unsaturated regions. Our main goal is to…
We construct an efficient numerical scheme for solving obstacle problems in divergence form. The numerical method is based on a reformulation of the obstacle in terms of an L1-like penalty on the variational problem. The reformulation is an…
In this paper we apply a scaling invariance analysis to reduce a class of parabolic moving boundary problems to free boundary problems governed by ordinary differential equations. As well known free boundary problems are always non-linear…
We investigate the use of piecewise linear systems, whose coefficient matrix is a piecewise constant function of the solution itself. Such systems arise, for example, from the numerical solution of linear complementarity problems and in the…
The aim of this paper is twofold: to prove, for L^1-data, the existence and uniqueness of an entropy solution to the obstacle problem for nonlinear elliptic equations with variable growth, and to show some convergence and stability…
If a variational problem comes with no boundary conditions prescribed beforehand, and yet these arise as a consequence of the variation process itself, we speak of a free boundary values variational problem. Such is, for instance, the…
We present a stochastic numerical method for solving fully non-linear free boundary problems of parabolic type and provide a rate of convergence under reasonable conditions on the non-linearity.
