Understanding singularitiesin free boundary problems

Xavier Ros-Oton, Joaquim Serra (2019)

Similarity:

Free boundary problems are those described by PDEs that exhibit a priori unknown (free) interfacesor boundaries. The most classical example is the melting of ice to water (the Stefan problem). In this case, the freeboundary is the liquid-solid interface between ice and water. A central mathematical challenge in this context is to understand the regularity and singularities of free boundaries. In this paper we provide a gentle introduction to this topic by presenting some classical results...

Qualitative properties of the free-boundary of the Reynolds equation in lubrication.

S. J. Alvarez (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

The hydrodynamic lubrication of a cylindrical bearing is governed by the Reynolds equation that must be satisfied by the pressure of lubricating oil. When cavitation occurrs we are carried to an elliptic free-boundary problem where the free-boundary separates the lubricated region from the cavited region. Some qualitative properties are obtained about the shape of the free-boundary as well as the localization of the cavited region.

Free boundary regularity in Stefan type problems

Ioannis Athanasopoulos (2004)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

Regularity results of free boundaries for Stefan type problems are discussed. The influence that curvature may have on the behavior of the free boundary is studied and various open problems are also mentioned.
