Abstract
We study cavitation type equations, , for bounded, measurable elliptic media . De Giorgi-Nash-Moser theory assures that solutions are -H\"older continuous within its set of positivity, , for some exponent strictly less than one. Notwithstanding, the key, main result proven in this paper provides a sharp Lipschitz regularity estimate for such solutions along their free boundaries, . Such a sharp estimate implies geometric-measure constrains for the free boundary. In particular, we show that the non-coincidence set has uniform positive density and that the free boundary has finite -Hausdorff measure, for a universal number .
