We examine a free transmission problem driven by fully nonlinear elliptic operators. Since the transmission interface is determined endogeneously, our analysis is two-fold: we study the regularity of the solutions and geometric properties of the free boundary. We prove that strong solutions are locally of class C 1,1 , locally. As regards the free boundary we start by establishing weak results, such as its non-degeneracy, and proceed with the characterization of global solutions. Then, we turn our attention to the set of non-degenerate points. We find this set inherits the regularity of the solutions. That is, it is locally the graph of a C 1,1 -regular function, with universal estimates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
