Abstract
Free boundary problems emerge naturally in mathematical models representing physical, biological, or financial phenomena, such as ice melting, population dynamics, or stock market behavior. These problems involve solving partial differential equations for both an unknown function and an unknown domain. This talk will explore several free boundary problems and different methods to address them.
