In this work, we investigate the continuity of the free boundary in a class of elliptic problems, with Neuman boundary condition. The main idea is a change of variable that allows us to reduce the problem to the one studied in [14].
We study almost minimizers for the thin obstacle problem with variable H\"older continuous coefficients and zero thin obstacle and establish their $C^{1,\beta}$ regularity on the either side of the thin space. Under an additional assumption…
