    The authors investigate the so-called ``boundary obstacle problem''. They prove that solutions to this problem have the optimal regularity, \(C^{1,1/2}\), in any space dimension. This bound depends only on the local \(L^{2}\) norm of the solution. Main tools within the proof are the quasiconvexity of the solution and a monotonicity formula for an appropriate weighted average of the local energy of the normal derivative of the solution.
