Abstract

In this work, we establish regularity results for minimizers of the energy functional associated with the thin obstacle problem in Orlicz spaces. More precisely, we prove the Lipschitz continuity and the Hölder continuity of the gradient of minimizers. The analysis is based on techniques from De Giorgi's classical regularity theory. As a byproduct of our results, we also provide a characterization of the structure of the nodal sets of the minimizers.
