The local structure of the free boundary in the fractional obstacle problem (Q2156027)

In this paper under review, the authors study the local structure of the free boundary in the fractional obstacle problem with non-zero obstacle. They show that if the obstacle is analytic, then the problem reduces to the zero obstacle case dealt in [\textit{M. Focardi} and \textit{E. Spadaro}, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 230, No. 1, 125--184 (2018; Zbl 1405.35257)]. If the obstacle is in the class \(C^{k+1}(\mathbb R^n)\) for \(k\geq 2\), then similar results hold for those free boundary points at which the contact order of the solution with the obstacle is less than \(k+1\).
