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.

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.

In this paper, we consider the problem of multiplicity of conformal metrics that are equivalent to the Euclidean metric, with zero scalar curvature and prescribed mean curvature on the boundary of the ball 𝔹n, n ≥ 4. Under the assumption that the order of flatness at critical points of the prescribed mean curvature function H(x) is β∈(n-2, n-1), we establish some Morse inequalities at infinity, which give a lower bound on the number of solutions to the above problem, in terms of the total contribution of its critical points at infinity to the difference of topology between the level sets of the associated Euler–Lagrange functional. As a by-product of our arguments, we derive a new existence result through an Euler–Hopf type formula.
