The purpose of this note is to present a "new" approach to the decay rate of the solutions to the no-sign obstacle problem from the free boundary, based on Weiss-monotonicity formula. In presenting the approach we have chosen to treat a problem which is not touched earlier in the existing literature. Although earlier techniques may still work for this problem, we believe this approach gives a shorter proof, and may have wider applications.

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to present a "new" approach to the decay rate of the solutions to the no-sign obstacle problem from the free boundary, based on Weiss-monotonicity formula. In presenting the approach we have chosen to treat a problem which is not touched earlier in the existing literature. Although earlier techniques may still work for this problem, we believe this approach gives a shorter proof, and may have wider applications.
