We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for the Signorini problem in $mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. It is known that regular points are $(n-1)$-dimensional and $C^infty$. However, even for $C^infty$ obstacles $varphi$, the set of non-regular (or degenerate) points could be very large, e.g. with infinite $mathcal{H}^{n-1}$ measure. The only two assumptions under which a nice structure result for degenerate points has been established are: when $varphi$ is analytic, and when $Deltavarphi < 0$. However, even in these cases, the set of degenerate points is in general $(n-1)$-dimensional (as large as the set of regular points). In this work, we show for the first time that, usually, the set of degenerate points is small. Namely, we prove that, given any $C^infty$ obstacle, for almost every solution the non-regular part of the free boundary is at most $(n-2)$-dimensional. This is the first result in this direction for the Signorini problem. Furthermore, we prove analogous results for the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-Delta)^s$, and for the parabolic Signorini problem. In the parabolic Signorini problem, our main result establishes that the non-regular part of the free boundary is $(n-1-alpha_circ)$-dimensional for almost all times $t$, for some $alpha_circ > 0$. Finally, we construct some new examples of free boundaries with degenerate points.
In this note we discuss the (higher) regularity properties of the Signorini problem for the homogeneous, isotropic Lame system. Relying on an observation by Schumann cite{Schumann1}, we reduce the question of the solutions and the free boundary regul
The parabolic obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian naturally arises in American option models when the assets prices are driven by pure jump Levy processes. In this paper we study the regularity of the free boundary. Our main result establis
We consider 3D free-boundary compressible ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system under the Rayleigh-Taylor sign condition. It describes the motion of a free-surface perfect conducting fluid in an electro-magnetic field. The local well-posedness was r
We prove a higher regularity result for the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian via a higher order boundary Harnack inequality.
We study the regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian. We prove that if $u$ is a weak solution of $(-Delta)^s u=f$ in $Omega$, $mathcal N_s u=0$ in $Omega^c$, then $u$ is $C^alpha$ up tp the bound
