Abstract

In this manuscript we deal with regularity issues and the asymptotic behaviour (as pp \to \infty) of solutions for elliptic free boundary problems of pp-Laplacian type (2p<2 \leq p< \infty): \begin{equation*} -\Delta_p u(x) + \lambda_0(x)\chi_{\{u>0\}}(x) = 0 \quad \mbox{in} \quad \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N, \end{equation*} with a prescribed Dirichlet boundary data, where λ0>0\lambda_0>0 is a bounded function and Ω\Omega is a regular domain. First, we prove the convergence as pp\to \infty of any family of solutions (up)p2(u_p)_{p\geq 2}, as well as we obtain the corresponding limit operator (in non-divergence form) ruling the limit equation, {max{Δu,u+χ{u>0}}=0inΩ{u0}u=gonΩ. \left\{ \begin{array}{rcrcl} \max\left\{-\Delta_{\infty} u_{\infty}, \,\, -|\nabla u_{\infty}| + \chi_{\{u_{\infty}>0\}}\right\} & = & 0 & \text{in} & \Omega \cap \{u_{\infty} \geq 0\} \\ u_{\infty} & = & g & \text{on} & \partial \Omega. \end{array} \right. Next, we obtain uniqueness for solutions to this limit problem together with a number of weak geometric and measure theoretical properties as non-degeneracy, uniform positive density, porosity and convergence of the free boundaries. Finally, we show that any solution to the limit operator is a limit of value functions for a specific Tug-of-War game.
