Abstract: In this paper we classify the nonnegative global minimizers of the functional [ J_F(u)=int_Omega F(| abla u|^2)+lambda^2chi_{{u>0}}, ] where $F$ satisfies some structural conditions and $ch{i}_D$ is the characteristic function of a set $Dsubsetmathbb{R}^n$. We compute the second variation of the energy and study the properties of the stability operator. The free boundary $partialu>0$ can be seen as a rectifiable $n-1$ varifold. If the free boundary is a Lipschitz multigraph then we show that the first variation of this varifold is bounded and use Allard's monotonicity formula to prove the existence of tangent cones modulo a set of small Hausdorff dimension. In particular we prove that if $n=3$ and the ellipticity constants of the quasilinear elliptic operator generated by $F$ are close to 1 then the conical free boundary must be flat.
