Abstract

We prove optimal regularity for double obstacle problems when obstacles are given by solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations that are not C (2). When the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is not C (2) then the standard Bernstein technique fails and we lose the usual semi-concavity estimates. Using a non-homogeneous scaling (different speeds in different directions) we develop a new pointwise regularity theory for Hamilton-Jacobi equations at points where the solution touches the obstacle. A consequence of our result is that C (1)-solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation <Equation ID="Equa"> <MediaObject> </MediaObject> </Equation>, are, in fact, C (1,alpha/2), provided that . This result is optimal and, to the authors' best knowledge, new.
