KAUST

In this course I will discuss the basics of the classical theory of free boundary problems. We will focus on two problems; the Alt-Caffarelli and obstacle problem. In the first part of the course we will discuss the regularity of the solutions, and in the remainder the full and partial regularity of the free boundary.

Abstract

In this course I will discuss the basics of the classical theory of free boundary problems. We will focus on two problems; the Alt-Caffarelli and obstacle problem. In the first part of the course we will discuss the regularity of the solutions, and in the remainder the full and partial regularity  of the free boundary.
