Aims & Scope

Interfaces and Free Boundaries is dedicated to the mathematical modelling, analysis and computation of interfaces and free boundary problems in all areas where such phenomena are pertinent. The journal aims to be a forum where mathematical analysis, partial differential equations, modelling, scientific computing and the various applications which involve mathematical modelling meet. Submissions should, ideally, emphasize the combination of theory and application.
