Abstract: We study an inhomogeneous minimization problems associated to the $p(x)$-Laplacian. We make a thorough analysis of the essential properties of their minimizers and we establish a relationship with a suitable free boundary problem. On the one hand, we study the problem of minimizing the functional $J(v)=in{t}_{O}megaBig(frac|ablav{|}^{p(x)}p(x)+lambda(x)ch{i}_{v>0}+fvBig),dx$. We show that nonnegative local minimizers $u$ are solutions to the free boundary problem: $uge0$ and �egin{equation} label{fbp-px} ag{$P(f,p,{lambda}^{\ast })$} �egin{cases} Delta_{p(x)}u:=mbox{div}(|

abla u(x)|^{p(x)-2} abla u)= f & mbox{in }{u>0}\ u=0, |

abla u| = lambda^*(x) & mbox{on }partial{u>0} end{cases} end{equation} with $lambd{a}^{\ast }(x)=Big(fracp(x)p(x)-1,lambda(x)Big{)}^{1/p(x)}$ and that the free boundary is a $C^{1,alpha}$ surface. On the other hand, we study the problem of minimizing the functional $J_{varepsilon}(v)=in{t}_{O}megaBig(frac|ablav{|}^{p_{v}arepsilon(x)}{p}_{v}arepsilon(x)+B_{varepsilon}(v)+f_{v}arepsilonvBig),dx$, where $$, $varepsilon>0$, $$, with $$ a Lipschitz function satisfying $$ in $(0,1)$, $$ outside $(0,1)$. We prove that if $u_{v}arepsilon$ are nonnegative local minimizers, then any limit function $u$ ($varepsilono0$) is a solution to the free boundary problem $P(f,p,{lambda}^{\ast })$ with $lambd{a}^{\ast }(x)=Big(fracp(x)p(x)-1,MBig{)}^{1/p(x)}$, $$, $p=lim{p}_{v}arepsilon$, $f=lim{f}_{v}arepsilon$, and that the free boundary is a $C^{1,alpha}$ surface. In order to obtain our results we need to overcome deep technical difficulties and develop new strategies, not present in the previous literature for this type of problems.

Review text

This paper is devoted to the study of inhomogeneous minimization problems associated to the \(p(x)\)-Laplacian. The authors make a thorough analysis of the essential properties of their minimizers and establish a relationship with a suitable free boundary problem. The work here, for both minimization problems, consists in an exhaustive analysis of the properties of nonnegative local minimizers, namely, global regularity and behavior close to the free boundary In order to obtain the results the authors need to overcome deep technical difficulties and develop new strategies, not present in the previous literature for this type of problems.
