We construct an efficient numerical scheme for solving obstacle problems in divergence form. The numerical method is based on a reformulation of the obstacle in terms of an L1-like penalty on the variational problem. The reformulation is an…
The free boundary for the Signorini problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is smooth outside of a degenerate set, which can have the same dimension ($n-1$) as the free boundary itself. In [FR21] it was shown that generically, the set where the free…
