We present a microscopic study of the behavior of the order parameters near boundaries of a two-band superconducting material, described by the standard tight-binding Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer model. We find superconducting surface states.…
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…
We study a free boundary problem on the lattice whose scaling limit is a harmonic free boundary problem with a discontinuous Hamiltonian. We find an explicit formula for the Hamiltonian, prove the solutions are unique, and prove that the…
We review some recent results on the phenomenon of surface superconductivity in the framework of Ginzburg-Landau theory for extreme type-II materials. In particular, we focus on the response of the superconductor to a strong longitudinal…
Bringing a rigid object into contact with a soft elastic tube causes the tube to conform to the surface of the object, resulting in contact lines. The curvature of the tube walls near these contact lines is often large and is typically…
We study the interior Bernoulli free boundary problem for the infinity Laplacian. Our results cover existence, uniqueness, and characterization of solutions (above a threshold representing the "infinity Bernoulli constant"), their…
This paper studies local properties of a two phase free boundary problem for the fractional Laplacian. The main result states that the two free boundaries of the positive and negativity sets cannot touch.
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…
The main goal of this article is to understand the trace properties of nonlocal minimal graphs in~$\R^3$, i.e. nonlocal minimal surfaces with a graphical structure. We establish that at any boundary points at which the trace from inside…
We consider a parabolic non-local free boundary problem that has been derived as a limit of a bulk-surface reaction-diffusion system which models cell polarization. The authors have justified the well-posedness of this problem and have…
We study the properties of the free boundaries and the corresponding hitting times in the context of optimal stopping in discrete time. We first prove the continuity of the map from the boundaries to the expected value of the corresponding…
We consider an oscillatory obstacle problem where the coincidence set and free boundary are also highly oscillatory. We establish a rate of convergence for a regularized notion of free boundary to the free boundary of a corresponding…
We consider an elliptic-parabolic free boundary problem that models the fluid flow through a partially saturated porous medium. The free boundary arises as the interface separating the saturated and unsaturated regions. Our main goal is to…
Free boundary problems are those described by PDEs that exhibit a priori unknown (free) interfaces or boundaries. These problems appear in Physics, Probability, Biology, Finance, or Industry, and the study of solutions and free boundaries…
Encounter-based models of diffusion provide a probabilistic framework for analyzing the effects of a partially absorbing reactive surface, in which the probability of absorption depends upon the amount of surface-particle contact time.…
We study the regularity of the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian under the assumption that the obstacle $\varphi$ satisfies $\Delta \varphi\leq 0$ near the contact region. Our main result establishes that…
We study the free boundary Euler equations with surface tension in three spatial dimensions, showing that the equations are well-posed if the coefficient of surface tension is positive. Then we prove that under natural assumptions, the…
This paper investigates degenerate nonlocal free boundary problems arising in the context of superconductivity, extending the nonlocal counterpart to the work of Caffarelli, Salazar, and Shahgholian \cite{CS02, CSS04} in the local setting.…
We study the free boundary in the supercooled Stefan problem, a classical model for the solidification of water below its freezing temperature. In contrast with the melting problem, physical experiments and heuristics indicate that the…
Consider a point on a convex surface in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 2$ and a plane of support $\Pi$ to the surface at this point. Draw a plane parallel to $\Pi$ cutting a part of the surface. We study the limiting behavior of this part of…
