Degeneracy Set Comparison Principle and Free Boundary Estimates for Hénon-type Infinity Laplace equations
Abstract
In this work, we study nonnegative viscosity solutions to Hénon-type equations driven by the infinity-Laplacian with a degenerate weight, strong absorption and an additional source term. We focus on free boundary points lying in the degeneracy set of the weight. We prove the degeneracy set comparison principle, which yields uniqueness within each slice determined by the value on the degeneracy set of the weight, although global uniqueness is not available in general. We establish sharp improved regularity estimates near free boundary points, with the intrinsic growth rate r(4+α)/(3−m). Finally, we obtain a matching non-degeneracy estimate at free boundary points; the property holds in the inhomogeneous case with suitable condition. Consequently, solutions detach from their zero phase at this rate.
