Mode Free Boundary Problems: Regularity Properties Near the Fixed Boundary (Lecture

This book is concerned with several elliptic and parabolic obstacle-type problems with a focus on the cases where the free and fixed boundaries meet. The results presented complement those found in existing books in the subject, which mainly treat regularity properties away from the fixed boundary.

Darya Apushkinskaya received her PhD degree from St. Petersburg State University and her Habilitation from Saarland University. Her research includes problems in non-smooth domains for equations with singular coefficients, variational problems with non-standard growth conditions, error analysis for solutions of variational and nonvariational problems and, of course, free boundary problems and their applications to biology and solid state physics.
