New trends in free boundary problems

Abstract: We present a series of recent results on some new classes of free boundary problems. Differently from the classical literature, the problems considered have either a "nonlocal" feature (e.g., the interaction or/and the interfacial energy may depend on global quantities) or a "nonlinear" flavor (namely, the total energy is the nonlinear superposition of energy components, thus losing the standard additivity and scale invariances of the problem).
