Our objective in this paper is to analyze the regularity of the boundary of a set Omega2 that admits a solution u to the following overdetermined problem: F(D(2)u) = chi (Omega) in B, u = \ delu \ = 0 in B \ Omega. Here F is a convex, uniformly elliptic operator of homogeneity one, B is the unit ball in R-n, and the equation is satisfied in the viscosity sense. We also consider the case of concave F in R-2.
