We prove [Formula: see text] regularity (in the parabolic sense) for the viscosity solution of a boundary obstacle problem with a fully nonlinear parabolic equation in the interior. Following the method which was first introduced for the harmonic case by L. Caffarelli in 1979, we extend the results of I. Athanasopoulos (1982) who studied the linear parabolic case and the results of E. Milakis and L. Silvestre (2008) who treated the fully nonlinear elliptic case.

AbstractWe study the singular set in the thin obstacle problem for degenerate parabolic equations with weight $$|y|^a$$ | y | a for $$a \in (-1,1)$$ a ∈ ( - 1 , 1 ) . Such problem arises as the local extension of the obstacle problem for the fractional heat operator $$(\partial _t - \Delta _x)^s$$ ( ∂ t - Δ x ) s for $$s \in (0,1)$$ s ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) . Our main result establishes the complete structure and regularity of the singular set of the free boundary. To achieve it, we prove Almgren-Poon, Weiss, and Monneau type monotonicity formulas which generalize those for the case of the heat equation ($$a=0$$ a = 0 ).
