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 two-phase free boundary problem in which the two-phases satisfy an impenetrability condition. Precisely, we have two ordered positive functions, which are harmonic in their supports, satisfy a Bernoulli condition on the one-phase…
We prove Lipschitz continuity of solutions to a class of rather general two-phase anisotropic free boundary problems in 2D and we classify global solutions. As a consequence, we obtain $C^{2,1}$ regularity of solutions to the Bellman…
