Equações diferenciais elípticas não-variacionais, singulares/degeneradas : uma abordagem geométrica

Abstract

In this work we study important geometric and analytic properties to solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations, both singular and degenerate types. The study of combustion processes that degenerate along the null-set of the density of a gas, a particular case of quenching problems, present in their modeling, equations described in this work. In this first part we obtain properties of a minimal solution, since the complete optimal control until the Hausdorff estimates of the singular free boundary. Ultimately, we obtain the optimal regularity to equation solutions where their diffusion property (elipticity) deterorate in a power of their gradient along the set where such rate of variation nullifies.
