Let $u$ be a solution to the normalized p-harmonic obstacle problem with $p>2$. That is, $u\in W^{1,p}(B_1(0))$, $2<p<\infty$, $u\ge 0$ and $$ \d\left( |\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\right)=\chi_{\{u>0\}}\textrm{ in }B_1(0) $$ where $u(x)\ge 0$…

For the parabolic obstacle-problem-like equation $$\Delta u - \partial_t u = \lambda_+ \chi_{\{u>0\}} - \lambda_- \chi_{\{u<0\}} ,$$ where $\lambda_+$ and $\lambda_-$ are positive Lipschitz functions, we prove in arbitrary finite dimension…

We study the regularity of the free boundary in the obstacle for the $p$-Laplacian, $\min\bigl\{-\Delta_p u,\,u-\varphi\bigr\}=0$ in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$. Here, $\Delta_p u=\textrm{div}\bigl(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\bigr)$, and…
