On a Bernoulli-type overdetermined free boundary problem

Abstract: In this article we study a Bernoulli-type free boundary problem and generalize a work of Henrot and Shahgholian in cite{HS1} to

m a t h c a l A

-harmonic PDEs. These are quasi-linear elliptic PDEs whose structure is modeled on the

p

-Laplace equation for a fixed

1 < p < i n f t y

. In particular, we show that if

K

is a bounded convex set satisfying the interior ball condition and

c > 0

is a given constant, then there exists a unique convex domain

O m e g a

with

K s u b s e t O m e g a

and a function

u

which is

m a t h c a l A

-harmonic in

O m e g a s e t m i n u s K

, has continuous boundary values

1

on

p a r t i a l K

and

0

on

p a r t i a l O m e g a

, such that

| a b l a u | = c

on

p a r t i a l O m e g a

. Moreover,

p a r t i a l O m e g a

is

C^{1, g a m m a}

for some

g a m m a > 0

, and it is smooth provided

m a t h c a l A

is smooth in

m a t h b b R^{n} s e t m i n u s 0

. We also show that the super level sets

u > t

are convex for

t i n (0, 1)

.
