Free boundary problem

In mathematics, a free boundary problem (FB problem) is a partial differential equation to be solved for both an unknown function and an unknown domain . The segment of the boundary of which is not known at the outset of the problem is the free boundary. FBs arise in various mathematical models encompassing applications that ranges from physical to economical, financial and biological phenomena, where there is an extra effect of the medium. This effect is in general a qualitative change of the medium and hence an appearance of a phase transition: ice to water, liquid to crystal, buying to selling (assets), active to inactive (biology), blue to red (coloring games), disorganized to organized (self-organizing criticality). An interesting aspect of such a criticality is the so-called sandpile dynamic (or Internal DLA). The most classical example is the melting of ice: Given a block of ice, one can solve the heat equation given appropriate initial and boundary conditions to determine its temperature. But, if in any region the temperature is greater than the melting point of ice, this domain will be occupied by liquid water instead. The boundary formed from the ice/liquid interface is controlled dynamically by the solution of the PDE. (Wikipedia).

Xavier Ros-Oton: Regularity of free boundaries in obstacle problems, Lecture III

Free boundary problems are those described by PDE that exhibit a priori unknown (free) interfaces or boundaries. Such type of problems appear in Physics, Geometry, Probability, Biology, or Finance, and the study of solutions and free boundaries uses methods from PDE, Calculus of Variations
