For the fully nonlinear Alt-Phillips problem with parameter $\gamma\in(1,2)$, we show that the free boundary intersects the fixed boundary tangentially where the Dirichlet data vanish. For this range of $\gamma$, this result is new even…

In this paper non-transversal intersection of the free and fixed boundary is shown to hold in any dimension for obstacle problems generated by fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic operators. Moreover, $C^1$ regularity results of the free…
We examine a free transmission problem driven by fully nonlinear elliptic operators. Since the transmission interface is determined endogeneously, our analysis is two-fold: we study the regularity of the solutions and some geometric…
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.
The interior free boundary theory for linear elliptic operators in higher dimensions was developed by Caffarelli in the low regularity context. In these notes, the up-to-the boundary free boundary regularity is discussed for nonlinear…
In this paper, we consider a free boundary problem of a semilinear nonhomogeneous elliptic equation with Bernoulli's type free boundary. The existence and regularity of the solution to the free boundary problem are established by use of the…
We study obstacle problems governed by two distinct types of diffusion operators involving interacting free boundaries. We obtain a somewhat surprising coupling property, leading to a comprehensive analysis of the free boundary. More…
In this work, we investigate the continuity of the free boundary in a class of elliptic problems, with Neuman boundary condition. The main idea is a change of variable that allows us to reduce the problem to the one studied in [14].
Free bondary value problem for elliptic differential-operator equations with variable coefficients is studied. The uniform maximal regularity properties and Fredholmness of this problem are obtained in vector-valued Holder spaces.
We study the behaviour near a boundary point a of any positive solution of a nonlinear elliptic equations with forcing term which vanishes on the boundary except at a. Our results are based upon a priori estimates for solutions and…
This paper concerns the theoretical and numerical analysis of a free boundary problem for the Laplace equation, with a curvature condition on the free boundary. This boundary is described as the graph of a function, and contact angles are…
We study the obstacle problem with an elliptic operator in divergence form. We develop all of the basic theory of existence, uniqueness, optimal regularity, and nondegeneracy of the solutions. These results, in turn, allow us to begin the…
