Abstract

In this paper we are interested in the study of a two-phase problem equipped with the Φ\Phi-Laplacian operator ΔΦu\mboxdiv(ϕ(u)uu), \Delta_\Phi u \coloneqq \mbox{div} \left(\phi(|\nabla u|)\dfrac{\nabla u}{|\nabla u|}\right), where Φ(s)=es21\Phi(s)=e^{s^2}-1 and ϕ=Φ\phi=\Phi'. We obtain the existence, boundedness, and Log-Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers of the energy functional associated to the two-phase problem. Furthermore, we also prove that the phase change free boundaries of the minimizers possess a finite perimeter.
