We construct three families of singular critical points for a variational free boundary problem. These critical points are homogeneous solutions of degree one to some overdetermined boundary value problem. The intersections of the level sets of these solutions with the unit sphere are isoparametric hypersurfaces and their focal submanifolds.

A free boundary problem that arises from the physical phenomenon of "peeling a thin tape from a domain" is treated. In this phenomenon, the movement of the tape is governed by a hyperbolic equation and is affected by the peeling front. We are interested in the behavior of the peeling front, especially, the phenomenon of self-excitation vibration. In the present paper, a mathematical model of this phenomenon is proposed. The cause of this vibration is discussed in terms of adhesion.

In this paper we consider a system of reaction–diffusion–advection equations with a free boundary, which arises in a competition ecological model in heterogeneous environment. The evolution of the free-boundary problem is discussed, which is an extension of the results of Du and Lin (Discrete Contin. Dynam. Syst. B19 (2014), 3105–3132). Precisely, when u is an inferior competitor, we prove that (u, v) → (0, V) as t→∞. When u is a superior competitor, we prove that a spreading–vanishing dichotomy holds, namely, as t→∞, either h(t)→∞ and (u, v) → (U, 0), or limt→∞h(t) < ∞ and (u, v) → (0, V). Moreover, in a weak competition case, we prove that two competing species coexist in the long run, while in a strong competition case, two species spatially segregate as the competition rates become large. Furthermore, when spreading occurs, we obtain some rough estimates of the asymptotic spreading speed.
