On the nonlinear thin obstacle problem
The authors study the nonlinear thin obstacle problem\N\[\N\min _{u\in \mathcal{A}_g } \int _{B_1 ^+} f (\nabla u) \, dx,\N\]\Nwhere \(B_1 \) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(B^+ _1 = B_1 \cap \{x_n >0\}\), and\N\[\N\mathcal{A}_g = \{ u\in W^{1,\infty} (B_1 ^+) : u\ge 0 \text{ on } B_1 ', \text{ and } u=g \text{ on } (\partial B_1)^+ \},\N\]\Nin which \(B_1 ' = B_1 \cap \{x_n =0 \}\) and \(g\) is a prescribed \(C^2\) boundary condition. In addition, the nonlinear energy density \(f\) is a strictly convex function of the form\N\[\Nf(p)=h(|p|),\N\]\Nwhere \(h\) is a \(C^2\) function satisfying\N\[\Nh(0)=h'(0)=0, \qquad h(t)=1+O(t) \text{ as }t\to 0^+.\N\]\NThey prove the optimal \(C^{1, 1/2}\) regularity for the solution \(u\) in any space dimension. More precisely, they show that for any \(r<1\) there is a constant \(C\) depending on \(r\), \(\mathrm{Lip}(u)\), and \(f\), such that\N\[\N\| u \|_{C^{1,1/2}(B_r ^+ \cup B_r ')} \le C \| u \| _{L^2 (B_1 ^+)}.\N\]\NThe proof adapts techniques previously applied to stationary two-valued graphs, and utilizes a monotonicity result for a modified Almgren frequency function.
