Free boundary regularity close to initial state for parabolic obstacle problem

Abstract:In this paper we study the behavior of the free boundary $ \partial \{u>\psi \}$, arising in the following complementary problem:

$\displaystyle (Hu)(u-\psi)=0,\qquad u\geq \psi (x,t) \quad \hbox{in } Q^+,$    
$\displaystyle Hu \leq 0,$    
$\displaystyle u(x,t) \geq \psi (x,t) \quad \hbox{on } \partial_p Q^+.$    

Here $ \partial_p$ denotes the parabolic boundary, $ H$ is a parabolic operator with certain properties, $ Q^+$ is the upper half of the unit cylinder in $ {\bf R}^{n+1}$, and the equation is satisfied in the viscosity sense. The obstacle $ \psi $ is assumed to be continuous (with a certain smoothness at $ \{x_1=0$, $ t=0\}$), and coincides with the boundary data $ u(x,0)=\psi (x,0)$ at time zero. We also discuss applications in financial markets.

Keywords:Free boundary  singular point  obstacle problem  regularity  global solution  blow-up  initial state
