On the Regularity of a Free Boundary Near Contact Points With a Fixed Boundary
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the regularity of a free boundary near contact points with a fixed boundary, with C boundary data, for an obstacle-like free boundary problem. We will show that under certain assumptions on the solution, and the boundary function, the free boundary is uniformly C up to the fixed boundary. We will also construct some examples of irregular free boundaries.

Boundary regularity for a parabolic obstacle type problem
Mathematical background: The regularity of free boundaries has been extensively studied over the last thirty years and the literature on the Stefan problem is vast. This problem however (that is, the Stefan problem without sign restriction) was, to the author’s knowledge, first studied by L. A. Caffarelli, A. Petrosyan and H. Shahgholian in [CPS]. The authors of [CPS] showed that a solution is ...
متن کاملA Simple and Systematic Approach for Implementing Boundary Conditions in the Differential Quadrature Free and Forced Vibration Analysis of Beams and Rectangular Plates
This paper presents a simple and systematic way for imposing boundary conditions in the differential quadrature free and forced vibration analysis of beams and rectangular plates. First, the Dirichlet- and Neumann-type boundary conditions of the beam (or plate) are expressed as differential quadrature analog equations at the grid points on or near the boundaries. Then, similar to CBCGE (direct ...
متن کاملBOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD APPLIED TO THE LIFTING BODIES NEAR THE FREE SURFACE
In this study, the boundary element method is formulated to evaluate hydrodynamic characteristics of bodies including free surface effect. The method is based on two equations, the perturbation potential boundary integral and the pressure Kutta condition, which are solved simultaneously. The method uses isoparametric elements for both quantity and geometric on the boundary. The method is first ...
متن کاملA two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation
In this paper we study a two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $Dsubset mathbb{R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary. We give some results on the growth of solutions and characterize the free boundary points in terms of homogeneous harmonic polynomials using a fundamental result of Caffarelli and Friedman regarding the representation of functions whose ...
متن کاملObstacle problems for integro-differential operators: regularity of solutions and free boundaries
We study the obstacle problem for integro-differential operators of order 2s, with s ∈ (0, 1). Our main result establishes that the free boundary is C and u ∈ C near all regular points. Namely, we prove the following dichotomy at all free boundary points x0 ∈ ∂{u = φ}: (i) either u(x)− φ(x) = c d(x) + o(|x− x0|) for some c > 0, (ii) or u(x)− φ(x) = o(|x− x0|), where d is the distance to the con...
