Motivated by free boundary problems under uncertainties, we consider the oriented distance function as a way to define the expectation for a random compact or open set. In order to provide a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for this notion of expectation, we also address the question of the convergence of the level sets of fn to the level sets of f when (fn) is a sequence of functions uniformly converging to f. We provide error estimates in term of Hausdorff convergence. We illustrate our results on a free boundary problem.

The numerical solution of free boundary problems gives rise to many computational difficulties. One such difficulty is due to the singularity at the separation point between the fixed and free boundaries. A method is suggested which uses complex variable techniques to determine the shape of the free boundary near to the separation point. This complex variable solution is also used to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference solution in the neighbourhood of the singularity. The analytical study was incorporated into an algorithm for the numerical solution of a particular free boundary problem concerning the percolation of a fluid through a porous dam. Some numerical results for this problem are presented.

In this paper, we present a survey concerning unconstrained free boundary problems of type where B 1 is the unit ball, Ω is an unknown open set, F 1 and F 2 are elliptic operators (admitting regular solutions), and is a functions space to be specified in each case. Our main objective is to discuss a unifying approach to the optimal regularity of solutions to the above matching problems, and list several open problems in this direction.

AbstractThe classical Stefan problem is one of the most studied free boundary problems of evolution type. Recently, there has been interest in treating the corresponding free boundary problem with nonlocal diffusion. We start the paper by reviewing the main properties of the classical problem that are of interest to us. Then we introduce the fractional Stefan problem and develop the basic theory. After that we center our attention on selfsimilar solutions, their properties and consequences. We first discuss the results of the one-phase fractional Stefan problem, which have recently been studied by the authors. Finally, we address the theory of the two-phase fractional Stefan problem, which contains the main original contributions of this paper. Rigorous numerical studies support our results and claims.
