Abstract

In this paper we consider the following two-phase obstacle-problem-like equation in the unit half-ball Δu=λ+χ{u>0}λχ{u<0},λ±>0\Delta u = \lambda_{+}\chi_{\{u>0\}}-\lambda_{-}\chi_{\{u<0\}}, \lambda_\pm>0. We prove that the free boundary touches the fixed one in (uniformly) tangential fashion if the boundary data ff and its first and second derivatives vanish at the touch-point.
