We consider almost minimizer to the thin-one phase energy functional and we prove optimal regularity of the solution and partial regularity of the free boundary. We recover the theory for energy minimizers developed in [DR,DS1]. Our methods are based on a noninfinitesimal notion of viscosity solutions we introduced in [DS4].
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.
