AbstractBy a perturbative argument, we construct solutions for a plasma-type problem with two opposite-signed sharp peaks at levels 1 and {-\gamma}, respectively, where {0<\gamma<1}. We establish some physically relevant qualitative properties for such solutions, including the connectedness of the level sets and the asymptotic location of the peaks as {\gamma\to 0^{+}}.

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.

AbstractWe study the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions to an exterior elliptic free boundary problem. The solutions model stationary solutions to nonlinear diffusion reaction problems, that is, they have compact support and satisfy both homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann-type boundary conditions on the free boundary ∂{u > 0}. Then we prove convexity and symmetry properties of the free boundary and of the level sets {u > c} of the solutions. We also establish symmetry properties for the corresponding interior free boundary problem.

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.
