An epiperimetric inequality approach to the regularity of the free boundary in the Signorini problem with variable coefficients (1501.06498v1)

Abstract: In this paper we establish the $C^{1,\beta}$ regularity of the regular part of the free boundary in the Signorini problem for elliptic operators with variable Lipschitz coefficients. This work is a continuation of the paper [GSVG14], where two of us established the interior optimal regularity of the solution. Two of the central results of the present work are a new monotonicity formula and a new epiperimetric inequality.
