A Lean 4 formalization of the main results of Abedin, Feldman and Stinson on Perron's extremal solutions of the one-phase Bernoulli free boundary problem Δu = 0 in {u > 0} ∩ U, |∇u| = Q on ∂{u > 0} ∩ U. Let U ⊂ ℝᵈ, d ≥ 2, be open, bounded and connected with C² boundary, and let Q be Lipschitz on the closure of U with 0 0 on ∂U is (i) a viscosity solution in U, (ii) an inner variational solution in U for some χ (the first domain variation of the Alt–Caffarelli energy ∫ |∇u|² + Q² χ vanishes), and (iii) a downward minimizer of that energy on a ball around each free boundary point; the largest…
