On the Optimal Control of the Free Boundary Problems for the Second Order Parabolic Equations. I.Well-posedness and Convergence of the Method of Lines [PDF]
We develop a new variational formulation of the inverse Stefan problem, where information on the heat flux on the fixed boundary is missing and must be found along with the temperature and free boundary.

Two-Phase Free Boundary Problems: From Existence to Smoothness
We describe the theory we developed in recent times concerning two-phasefree boundary problems governed by elliptic operators with forcing terms.Our results range from existence of viscosity solutions to smoothness ofboth solutions and free boundaries ...

Compactness estimates for minimizers of the Alt-Phillips functional of negative exponents
We investigate the rigidity of global minimizers u≥0u\ge 0 of the Alt-Phillips functional involving negative power potentials ∫Ω(∣∇u∣2+u−γχ{u>0})dx,γ∈(0,2),\mathop{\int }\limits_{\Omega }(| \nabla u{| }^{2}+{u}^{-\gamma }{\chi }_{\left\{u\gt 0\right\}}){\

A class of unstable free boundary problems [PDF]
We consider the free boundary problem arising from an energy functional which is the sum of a Dirichlet energy and a nonlinear function of either the classical or the fractional perimeter.

Nonlinear Two-Phase Stefan Problem [PDF]
In this paper we consider a nonlinear two-phase Stefan problem in one-dimensional space. The problem is mapped into a nonlinear Volterra integral equation for the free boundary.

Free boundary problems in biology [PDF]
In this paper, I review several free boundary problems that arise in the mathematical modelling of biological processes. The biological topics are quite diverse: cancer, wound healing, biofilms, granulomas and atherosclerosis. For each of these topics, I describe the biological background and the mathematical model, and then proceed to state ...

Concavity properties for free boundary elliptic problems
We prove some concavity properties connected to nonlinear Bernoulli type free boundary problems. In particular, we prove a Brunn-Minkowski inequality and an Urysohn's type inequality for the Bernoulli Constant and we study the behaviour of the free ...

Free boundary problems for Tumor Growth: a Viscosity solutions approach [PDF]
The mathematical modeling of tumor growth leads to singular stiff pressure law limits for porous medium equations with a source term. Such asymptotic problems give rise to free boundaries, which, in the absence of active motion, are generalized Hele-Shaw

On a variational principle for shape optimization and elliptic free boundary problems
A variational principle for several free boundary value problems using a relaxation approach is presented. The relaxed Energy functional is concave and it is defined on a convex set, so that the minimizing points are characteristic functions of sets.
