We prove that the solutions of these free boundary problems are uniformly semiconcave and, as a consequence, we obtain some fine convergence results for the solutions and their free boundaries. Precisely, we show that the elastic and the $\\lambda$-elastic sets of the solutions Hausdorff converge to the cut locus and the $\\lambda$-cut locus of the manifold.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-12T14:27:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R35", "53C21", "53C22" ], "keywords": [ "cut locus", "uniform semiconcavity estimates", "variational inequality", "compact manifolds", "compact riemannian manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
