Abstract

We show that any minimizer of the well-known ACF functional (for the p-Laplacian) constitutes a viscosity solution. This allows us to establish a uniform flatness decay at the two-phase free boundary points to improve the flatness, which boils down to C1,η regularity of the flat part of the free boundary. This result, in turn, is used to prove the Lipschitz regularity of minimizers by a dichotomy argument. It is noteworthy that the analysis of branch points is also included.
