Stratification of free boundary points for a two-phase variational problem (1508.07447v3)

Published 29 Aug 2015 in math.AP

Abstract: In this paper we study the two-phase Bernoulli type free boundary problem arising from the minimization of the functional $$ J(u):=\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|p +\lambda_+p\,\chi_{{u>0}} +\lambda_-p\,\chi_{{u\le 0}}, \quad 1<p<\infty. $$ Here $\Omega \subset \R^N$ is a bounded smooth domain and $\lambda_\pm$ are positive constants such that $\lambda_+^p-\lambda^p_-\>0$. We prove the following dichotomy: if $x_0$ is a free boundary point then either the free boundary is smooth near $x_0$ or $u$ has linear growth at $x_0$. Furthermore, we show that for $p>1$ the free boundary has locally finite perimeter and the set of non-smooth points of free boundary is of zero $(N-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. Our approach is new even for the classical case $p=2$.
