Geometric Estimates for Solutions of Semilinear Equations with Singular Potentials
Abstract
In this work, we study local minimizers of elliptic functionals with strong absorption terms and unbounded, sign-changing sources. These problems naturally interpolate between two classical free boundary problems: Bernoulli-type (cavity) and obstacle-type. While previous studies have focused on bounded and strictly positive sources, we extend sharp regularity and nondegeneracy estimates to the unbounded, sign-changing setting, providing a comprehensive analysis of how the underlying nonlinearity interacts with minimal integrability assumptions on the source.
