Regularity of minimizers in the two-phase free boundary problems in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces (Q509944)

Summary: In this paper, we consider the optimization problem of minimizing \(\mathcal {J}(u)=\int_{\Omega}(G(|\nabla u|)+\lambda_{+}(u^{+})^{\gamma}+\lambda_{-}(u^{-})^{\gamma}+fu)\mathrm{d}x\) in the class of functions \(W^{1,G}(\Omega)\) with \(u - \phi \in W^{1,G}_{0}(\Omega)\) for a given function \(\phi\), where \(W^{1,G}(\Omega)\) is the class of weakly differentiable functions with \(\int_{\Omega} G(|\nabla u|)\mathrm{d}x<\infty\). The conditions on the function \(G\) allow for a different behavior at \(0\) and at \(\infty\). For \(0<\gamma \leq 1\), we prove that every minimizer \(u\) of \(\mathcal {J}(u)\) is \(C^{1,\alpha}_{\mathrm{loc}}\)-continuous.
