摘要
We study a model for combustion on a boundary. Specifically, we study certain generalized solutions of the equation (-Delta)(u)(s) = chi({u > c}) for 0 < s < 1 and an arbitrary constant c. Our main object of study is the free boundary partial derivative{u > c}. We study the behavior of the free boundary and prove an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set. We also show that when s <= 1/2 certain symmetric solutions are stable; however, when s > 1/2 these solutions are not stable and therefore not minimizers of the corresponding functional.
