We show NP-completeness for several planar variants of the monotone satisfiability problem with bounded variable appearances. With one exception the presented variants have an associated bipartite graph where the vertex degree is bounded by…

Inspired by [6, 7], we study the boundary regularity of constant curvature hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$, which have prescribed asymptotic boundary at infinity. Through constructing the boundary expansions of the…
We consider the "thin one-phase" free boundary problem, associated to minimizing a weighted Dirichlet energy of the function in $\mathbb R^{n+1}_+$ plus the area of the positivity set of that function in $\mathbb R^n$. We establish full…
We classify global Lipschitz solutions to two-phase free boundary problems governed by concave fully nonlinear equations, as either two-plane solutions or solutions to a one-phase problem.
A monotone drawing of a planar graph $G$ is a planar straight-line drawing of $G$ where a monotone path exists between every pair of vertices of $G$ in some direction. Recently monotone drawings of planar graphs have been proposed as a new…
We provide sufficient conditions for the continuity of the free-boundary in a general class of finite-horizon optimal stopping problems arising for instance in finance and economics. The underlying process is a strong solution of one…
This is the sequel of the recent work (Du, Huang, Pu, Commun. Math. Phys, 2023, doi: 10.1007/s00220-023-04651-7) on axially symmetric gravity water waves with general vorticities, which has investigated the singular wave profile of the free…
We consider an one-phase free boundary problem for a degenerate fully non-linear elliptic operators with non-zero right hand side. We use the approach present in \cite{DeSilva} to prove that flat free boundaries and Lipschitz free…
We consider equations of the form $\Delta u +\lambda^2 V(x)e^{\,u}=\rho$ in various two dimensional settings. We assume that $V>0$ is a given function, $\lambda>0$ is a small parameter and $\rho=\mathcal O(1)$ or $\rho\to +\infty$ as…
We consider fully nonlinear obstacle-type problems of the form \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} F(D^{2}u,x)=f(x) & \text{a.e. in}B_{1}\cap\Omega,|D^{2}u|\le K & \text{a.e. in}B_{1}\backslash\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $\Omega$…

This brief note addresses the free boundary problem arising from the steady two-dimensional seepage flow through a rectangular dam. The flow problem consists in finding the free boundary location, and the velocity and pressure fields. The…
We study classical solutions to the one-phase free boundary problem in which the free boundary consists of smooth curves and the components of the positive phase are simply-connected. We show that if two components of the free boundary are…

In this work we demonstrate that a class of some one and two phase free boundary problems can be recast as nonlocal parabolic equations on a submanifold. The canonical examples would be one-phase Hele Shaw flow, as well as its two-phase…
