Abstract

We establish that the C1,γC^{1,\gamma} regularity theory for translation invariant fractional order parabolic integro-differential equations (via Krylov-Safonov estimates) gives an improvement of regularity mechanism for solutions to a special case of a two-phase free boundary flow related to Hele-Shaw. The special case is due to both a graph assumption on the free boundary of the flow and an assumption that the free boundary is C1,DiniC^{1,\text{Dini}} in space. The free boundary then must immediately become C1,γC^{1,\gamma} for a universal γ\gamma depending upon the Dini modulus of the gradient of the graph. These results also apply to one-phase problems of the same type.

Modified the presentation of Theorem 1.2 to make more clear the dependence of the constants on various parameters and norms. Fixed various typos
