AbstractWe describe the theory we developed in recent times concerning two-phase free boundary problems governed by elliptic operators with forcing terms. Our results range from existence of viscosity solutions to smoothness of both solutions and free boundaries. We also discuss some open questions, possible object of future investigation.

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.

Here, we present a survey concerning parabolic free boundary problems involving a discontinuous hysteresis operator. Such problems describe biological and chemical processes ‘with memory’ in which various substances interact according to hysteresis law. Our main objective is to discuss the structure of the free boundaries and the properties of the so-called ‘strong solutions’ belonging to the anisotropic Sobolev class with sufficiently large q . Several open problems in this direction are proposed as well.
