A free boundary problem for the localization of eigenfunctions

arXiv:1406.6596

Abstract

We study a variant of the Alt, Caffarelli, and Friedman free boundary problem with many phases and a slightly different volume term, which we originally designed to guess the localization of eigenfunctions of a Schrödinger operator in a domain. We prove Lipschitz bounds for the functions and some nondegeneracy and regularity properties for the domains.
