Abstract:

We establish Weiss' and Monneau's type quasi-monotonicity formulas for quadratic energies having matrix of coefficients in a Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$, $p>n$, and provide an application to the corresponding free boundary analysis for the related classical obstacle problems.

Keywords: Classical obstacle problem, free boundary, monotonicity formulas
