$C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates for the fully nonlinear Signorini problem

Analysis of PDEs 2016-03-15 v1

Abstract

We study the regularity of solutions to the fully nonlinear thin obstacle problem. We establish local C1,αC^{1,\alpha} estimates on each side of the smooth obstacle, for some small α>0\alpha > 0. Our results extend those of Milakis-Silvestre in two ways: first, we do not assume solutions nor operators to be symmetric, and second, our estimates are local, in the sense that do not rely on the boundary data. As a consequence, we prove C1,αC^{1,\alpha} regularity even when the problem is posed in general Lipschitz domains.
