We consider the problem of optimal partition of a domain with respect to the sum of the principal eigenvalues and we prove for the first time regularity results for the free interface up to fixed boundary. All our results are quantitative…

We study viscosity solutions to the classical one-phase problem and its thin counterpart. In low dimensions, we show that when the free boundary is the graph of a continuous function, the solution is the half-plane solution. This answers,…

We study a class of semilinear free boundary problems in which admissible functions $u$ have a topological constraint, or spanning condition, on their 1-level set. This constraint forces $\{u=1\}$, which is the free boundary, to behave like…
