A free boundary problem, which comes from the model of the perpetual American call options with utility functions in financial market, is investigated. It is a degenerative parabolic free boundary problem and is studied by the line method. The existence, regularity and uniqueness of the solution as well as some properties of the free boundary are established.

We consider an evolution non-local free boundary problem that arises in the modelling of speculative bubbles. The solution of the model is the speculative component in the price of an asset. In the framework of viscosity solutions, we show the existence and uniqueness of the solution. We also show that the solution is convex in space, and establish several monotonicity properties of the solution and of the free boundary with respect to parameters of the problem. To study the free boundary, we use, in particular, the fact that the odd part of the solution solves a more standard obstacle problem. We show that the free boundary is and describe the asymptotics of the free boundary as c , the cost of transacting the asset, goes to zero.
