Free boundary problems for PDEs (35R35) Optimality conditions for free problems in two or more independent variables (49K10)

Abstract: We prove an analogue for a one-phase free boundary problem of the classical gradient bound for solutions to the minimal surface equation. It follows, in particular, that every energy-minimizing free boundary that is a graph is also smooth. The method we use also leads to a new proof of the classical minimal surface gradient bound.
