Reifenberg Flatness of Free Boundaries in Obstacle Problems with VMO Ingredients

Analysis of PDEs 2013-09-24 v2

Abstract

We study the obstacle problem with an elliptic operator in divergence form. We develop all of the basic theory of existence, uniqueness, optimal regularity, and nondegeneracy of the solutions. These results, in turn, allow us to begin the study of the regularity of the free boundary in the case where the coefficients are in VMO.
