Abstract

Variational inequalities (free boundaries), governed by the pp-parabolic equation (p2p\geq 2), are the objects of investigation in this paper. Using intrinsic scaling we establish the behavior of solutions near the free boundary. A consequence of this is that the time levels of the free boundary are porous (in NN-dimension) and therefore its Hausdorff dimension is less than NN. In particular the NN-Lebesgue measure of the free boundary is zero for each tt-level.
