Triple Junctions in Multi-Phase Obstacle type Problems

Daniela De Silva, Ovidiu Savin, Henrik Shahgholian

We study the regularity of the free boundary for a multi-phase obstacle-type problem associated to quadrature domains, which arises from the minimization of the energy $$J(U,F):= \…

Viscosity and variational approaches in free boundary problems: A Volume in Honor of Sandro Salsa

Daniela De Silva, Fausto Ferrari

Free boundary problems (FBPs) are differential equations where the domain depends on the solution, with applications in diverse fields such as flame propagation, financial mathemat…
