We study regularity properties of the free boundary for solutions of the porous medium equation with the presence of drift. We show the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary, when the solution is directionally monotone in space…

Let $u$ be a weak solution of the free boundary problem $$\mathcal L u=\lambda_0 \mathcal H^1\lfloor\partial\{u>0\}, u\ge 0,$$ where $\mathcal L u={\text{div}}(g(\nabla u)\nabla u)$ is a quasilinear elliptic operator and $g(\xi)$ is a given…

We construct two new one-parameter families of monotonicity formulas to study the free boundary points in the lower dimensional obstacle problem. The first one is a family of Weiss type formulas geared for points of any given homogeneity…

We construct nonnegative weak solutions to the singular parabolic free boundary problem \[ \partial_t u - \Delta u = - \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} u} u_+^\gamma , \] where $\gamma \in (0,1]$, $u_+ := \max\{u,0\}$, and the term in the…

We establish monotonicity formulas for a parabolic frequency function associated with sign-changing solutions to a class of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations of the form $\partial_t u = \mathcal{L}_{p,\varphi} u^q$ on weighted complete…

We study a higher order analogue to the Alt-Caffarelli functional that arises in several shape optimization problems, among which the minimization of the critical buckling load of a clamped plate of fixed area. We obtain several regularity…

We prove a monotonicity identity for compact surfaces with free boundaries inside the boundary of unit ball in $\mathbb R^n$ that have square integrable mean curvature. As one consequence we obtain a Li-Yau type inequality in this setting,…

We prove boundary regularity and a compactness result for parabolic nonlocal equations of the form $u_t-Iu=f$, where the operator $I$ is not necessarily translation invariant. As a consequence of this and the regularity results for…

We study a model for combustion on a boundary. Specifically, we study certain generalized solutions of the equation \[ (-\Delta)^s u = \chi_{\{u>c\}} \] for $0<s<1$ and an arbitrary constant $c$. Our main object of study is the free…

We study the singular set in the thin obstacle problem for degenerate parabolic equations with weight $|y|^a$ for $a \in (-1,1)$. Such problem arises as the local extension of the obstacle problem for the fractional heat operator…

We prove the -- to the best knowledge of the authors -- first result on the fine asymptotic behavior of the regular part of the free boundary of the obstacle problem close to singularities. The result is motivated by our recent partial…

This paper deals with the obstacle problem for the infinity Laplacian. The main results are a characterization of the solution through comparison with cones that lie above the obstacle and the sharp $C^{1,1/3}$--regularity at the free…

In this article we use flatness improvement argument to study the regularity of the free boundary for the biharmonic obstacle problem with zero obstacle. Assuming that the solution is almost one-dimensional, and that the non-coincidence set…

For free boundary problems on Euclidean spaces, the monotonicity formulas of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman and Caffarelli-Jerison-Kenig are cornerstones for the regularity theory as well as the existence theory. In this article we establish the…

As an application of the theory of linear parabolic differential equations on noncompact Riemannian manifolds, developed in earlier papers, we prove a maximal regularity theorem for nonuniformly parabolic boundary value problems in…

This paper studies the regularity of the free boundary for viscosity solutions to a parabolic Bernoulli-type free boundary problem with variable coefficients. The main result is that Lipschitz free boundaries are $C^1$ with a normal vector…

We construct a monotonicity formula for the free boundary problem of the form $\Delta u=\mu$, where $\mu$ is a Radon measure. It implies that the blow up limits of solutions are homogenous functions of degree one. The first formula is new…

We show that the singular set $\Sigma$ in the classical obstacle problem can be locally covered by a $C^\infty$ hypersurface, up to an "exceptional" set $E$, which has Hausdorff dimension at most $n-2$ (countable, in the $n=2$ case).…

We establish generic regularity results of free boundaries for solutions of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$. We prove that, for almost every obstacle, the free boundary contains only regular points up to…

The theory of boundary regularity for $p$-harmonic functions is extended to unbounded open sets in complete metric spaces with a doubling measure supporting a $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, $1<p<\infty$. The barrier classification of regular…
