For $h>1,$
we consider the reaction-diffusion equation: $$ \begin{align*} \Delta_\infty^hu(x)=f(x,u(x),Du(x)),\quad x\in\Omega, \end{align*} $$
where $\Delta _\infty ^h$
denotes the h-degree infinity Laplacian, $f\in C(\Omega \times \mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^n)$
satisfies $ 0\leq f(x,\delta t,p)\leq \Lambda (x)\delta ^{\gamma }f(x,t,p),$
a positive function $\Lambda (x)\in C(\overline {\Omega }), \, \gamma \in [0,h), \,t>0$
, and $\delta>0 $
is small enough. Such an equation may cause a dead-core region, that is, an unknown region where the nonnegative solution vanishes completely. We establish a flattening estimate for the viscosity solution and obtain sharp $C^{({h+1})/({h-\gamma })}$
-regularity along the free boundary $\partial \{u>0\}\cap \Omega .$
Using the sharp regularity, we prove Liouville-type theorems for the global solution and give the porosity of the free boundary. In the end, for the limit case $\gamma =h,$
we show that if the viscosity solution vanishes at a point, then the dead-core region must vanish.
