Abstract

In this article, we establish integer and fractional higher-order differentiability of weak solutions to non-homogeneous obstable problems that satisfy the variational inequality ∫Ω ‹A(x, Du), D(φ - u)› dx ≥ ∫Ω ‹|F|p-2 F, D(φ - u)› dx, where 1 < p < 2, φ ∈ Kψ(Ω) = {v ∈ u0 + W1,p 0 (Ω, ℝ) : v ≥ ψ a.e. in Ω}, u0 ∈ W1,p(Ω) is a fixed boundary datum. We show that the weak solution, provided the partial map x ↦ A(x, ξ) belongs to a suitable Sobolev or Besov-Lipschitz space.
