Abstract
In this article, we study a class of fully nonlinear double-divergence systems with free boundaries associated with a minimization problem. The variational structure of the Hessian-dependent functional plays a fundamental role in proving the existence of the minimizers and then the existence of the solutions for the system. In addition, we establish improvements in integrability for the equation in the double-divergence form. Consequently, we improve the regularity for the fully nonlinear equation in Sobolev and Hölder spaces.
