Regularity of Free Boundaries in Obstacle-Type Problems
Share this pageArshak Petrosyan; Henrik Shahgholian; Nina Uraltseva
The regularity theory of free boundaries flourished during the late
1970s and early 1980s and had a major impact in several areas of
mathematics, mathematical physics, and industrial mathematics, as well
as in applications. Since then the theory continued to evolve.
Numerous new ideas, techniques, and methods have been developed, and
challenging new problems in applications have arisen. The main
intention of the authors of this book is to give a coherent
introduction to the study of the regularity properties of free
boundaries for a particular type of problems, known as obstacle-type
problems. The emphasis is on the methods developed in the past two
decades. The topics include optimal regularity, nondegeneracy,
rescalings and blowups, classification of global solutions, several
types of monotonicity formulas, Lipschitz, \(C^1\), as well as
higher regularity of the free boundary, structure of the singular set,
touch of the free and fixed boundaries, and more.
The book is based on lecture notes for the courses and mini-courses
given by the authors at various locations and should be accessible to
advanced graduate students and researchers in analysis and partial
differential equations.
Readership
Research mathematicians interested in partial differential equations, in particular in problems with free boundaries.
