Abstract

We consider viscosity solution to one-phase free boundary problems for general fully nonlinear operators and free boundary condition depending on the normal vector. We show existence of viscosity solutions via the Perron's method and we prove C2,αC^{2,\alpha} regularity of flat free boundaries via a quadratic improvement of flatness. Finally, we obtain the higher regularity of the free boundary via an hodograph transform.
