We prove general uniqueness results for radial solutions of linear and nonlinear equations involving the fractional Laplacian $(-Δ)^s$ with $s \in (0,1)$ for any space dimensions $N \geq 1$. By extending a monotonicity formula found by Cabre and Sire \cite{CaSi-10}, we show that the linear equation $(-Δ)^s u+ Vu = 0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ has at most one radial and bounded solution vanishing at infinity, provided that the potential $V$ is a radial and non-decreasing. In particular, this result implies that all radial eigenvalues of the corresponding fractional Schrödinger operator $H=(-Δ)^s + V$ are simple. Furthermore, by combining these findings on linear equations with topological bounds for a related problem on the upper half-space $\mathbb{R}^{N+1}_+$, we show uniqueness and nondegeneracy of ground state solutions for the nonlinear equation $(-Δ)^s Q + Q - |Q|^α Q = 0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ for arbitrary space dimensions $N \geq 1$ and all admissible exponents $α>0$. This generalizes the nondegeneracy and uniqueness result for dimension N=1 recently obtained by the first two authors in \cite{FrLe-10} and, in particular, the uniqueness result for solitary waves of the Benjamin--Ono equation found by Amick and Toland \cite{AmTo-91}.
We review some recent results on eigenvalues of fractional Laplacians and fractional Schrödinger operators. We discuss, in particular, Lieb-Thirring inequalities and their generalizations, as well as semi-classical asymptotics.
We address Lévy-stable stochastic processes in bounded domains, with a focus on a discrimination between inequivalent proposals for what a boundary data-respecting fractional Laplacian (and thence the induced random process) should actually be. Versions considered are: restricted Dirichlet, spectral Dirichlet and regional (censored) fractional Laplacians. The affiliated random processes comprise: killed, reflected and conditioned Lévy flights, in particular those with an infinite life-time. The related concept of quasi-stationary distributions is briefly mentioned.
We present a novel definition of variable-order fractional Laplacian on Rn based on a natural generalization of the standard Riesz potential. Our definition holds for values of the fractional parameter spanning the entire open set (0, n/2). We then discuss some properties of the fractional Poisson's equation involving this operator and we compute the corresponding Green function, for which we provide some instructive examples for specific problems.
We establish the existence and uniqueness of variational solution to the nonlinear Neumann boundary problem for the $p^{th}$-Sub-Laplacian associated to a system of Hörmander vector fields
In this paper, we first establish Hopf's lemmas for parabolic fractional equations and parabolic fractional $p$-equations. Then we derive an asymptotic Hopf's lemma for antisymmetric solutions to parabolic fractional equations. We believe that these Hopf's lemmas will become powerful tools in obtaining qualitative properties of solutions for nonlocal parabolic equations.
In this paper we study a semilinear problem for the fractional laplacian that are the counterpart of the Neumann problems in the classical setting. We show uniqueness of minimal energy solutions for small domains.
The paper deals with the existence and uniqueness of a non-trivial solution to non-homogeneous $ p ( x ) -$laplacian equations, managed by non polynomial growth operator in the framework of variable exponent Sobolev spaces on Riemannian manifolds. The mountain pass Theorem is used.
The analogue of Pólya's conjecture is shown to fail for the fractional Laplacian (-Delta)^{alpha/2} on an interval in 1-dimension, whenever 0 < alpha < 2. The failure is total: every eigenvalue lies below the corresponding term of the Weyl asymptotic. In 2-dimensions, the fractional Pólya conjecture fails already for the first eigenvalue, when 0 < alpha < 0.984.
In this paper, we give the boundeness of solutions to Fractional Laplacian Ginzburg-Landau equation, which extends the Brezis theorem into the nonlinear Fractional Laplacian equation. A related linear fractional Schrodinger equation is also studied.
We discuss the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution of the following quasilinear parabolic equation $u_t-Δ_{p(x)}u = f(x,u)$ in $ (0,T)\timesΩ$; $u = 0$ on $(0,T)\times\partialΩ$; $u(0,x)=u_0(x)$ in $Ω$; involving the $p(x)$-Laplacian operator. Next, we discuss the global behaviour of solutions and in particular some stabilization properties.
In this paper, we present an approach to the fractional Dunkl Laplacian in a framework emerging from certain reflection symmetries in Euclidean spaces. Our main result is pointwise formulas, Bochner subordination, and an extension problem for the fractional Dunkl Laplacian as well
We obtain a unique continuation result for fractional Schrödinger operators with potential in Morrey spaces. This is based on Carleman inequalities for fractional Laplacians.
This paper is devoted to interior, i.e. away from the boundary, estimates for eigenfunctions of the fractional Laplacian in an Euclidean domain of $\mathbb R^d$.
In this note, we study the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the regional fractional Laplacian $(-Δ)^s$ as $ s \to 0^+$. Our analysis leads to a study of the regional logarithmic Laplacian, which arises as a formal derivative of regional fractional Laplacians at $s = 0$.
In this paper, we generalize the direct method of moving planes for the fractional Laplacian to the system case. Considering a coupled nonlinear system with fractional Laplacian, we first establish a decay at infinity principle and a narrow region principle. Using these principles, we obtain two radial symmetry results for the decaying solutions of the fractional Laplacian systems. Our method can be applied to fractional Schrödinger systems and fractional Hénon systems.
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of nonnegative renormalized solutions for the fractional p(x)-Laplacian problem with L1 data. Our results are new even in the constant exponent fractional p-Laplacian equation case.
We propose analogues of Green's and Picone's identities for the $p$-sub-Laplacian on stratified Lie groups. In particular, these imply a generalised Díaz-Saá inequality for the $p$-sub-Laplacian on stratified Lie groups. Using these we derive a comparison principle and uniqueness of a positive solution to nonlinear hypoelliptic equations on general stratified Lie groups extending to the setting of the general stratified Lie groups previously known results on Euclidean and Heisenberg groups.
In this paper we study the fractional Dirichlet p-sub-Laplacian in a Haar measurable set on homogeneous Lie groups. We prove fractional Sobolev and Hardy inequalities and we also present a Lyapunov-type inequality for the fractional p-sub-Laplacian. As a consequence of the Lyapunov-type inequality we show an estimate of the first eigenvalue in a quasi-ball for the Dirichlet fractional p-sub-Laplacian.
In this paper, we give some properties and remarks of the new fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. We also study the eigenvalue problem involving the new fractional $p(\cdot)$-Laplacian.
In this work we analyze the behavior of the spectrum of the peridynamic fractional $p$-Laplacian, $(-Δ_p)_δ^s$, under the limit process $δ\to0^+$ or $δ\to+\infty$. We prove spectral convergence to the classical $p$-Laplacian under a suitable scaling as $δ\to0^+$ and to the fractional $p$-Laplacian as $δ\to+\infty$.
The main objective of this paper is to establish the convergence for the fractional $p$-Laplacian of nonnegative sequence of functions with $p>2$. Further, we show the blow-up phenomena for solutions to the extended Nirenberg problem modeled by fractional $p$-Laplacian with the prescribed negative functions.
The aim of this paper is two-fold: first, we look at the fractional Laplacian and the conformal fractional Laplacian from the general framework of representation theory on symmetric spaces and, second, we construct new boundary operators with good conformal properties that generalize the fractional Laplacian using an extension problem in which the boundary is of codimension two.
In this paper, we study existence of boundary blow-up solutions for elliptic equations involving regional fractional Laplacian. We also discuss the optimality of our results.
In this paper, we consider a Lewy-Stampacchia-type inequality for the fractional Laplacian on a bounded domain in Euclidean space. Using this inequality, we can show the well-posedness of fractional-type anomalous unidirectional diffusion equations. This study is an extension of the work by Akagi-Kimura (2019) for the standard Laplacian. However, there exist several difficulties due to the nonlocal feature of the fractional Laplacian. We overcome those difficulties employing the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension of the fractional Laplacian.
This paper concerns with the study of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to a family of fractional type problems on a bounded domain, satisfying homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The family of differential operators includes the fractional $p_n$-Laplacian when $p_n\to\infty$ as a particular case, tough it could be extended to a function of the Hölder quotient of order $s$, whose primitive is an Orlicz function satisfying appropriated growth conditions. The limit equation involves the Hölder infinity Laplacian.
We show a convergence result of the fractional Laplacian for sequences of nonnegative functions without uniform boundedness near infinity. As an application, we construct a sequence of solutions to the fractional Nirenberg problem that blows up in the region where the prescribed functions are negative. This is a different phenomenon from the classical Nirenberg problem.
In this paper we study the obstacle problems for the Navier (spectral) fractional Laplacian $\left(-Δ_Ω\right)^{\!s}$ of order $s\in(0,1)$, in a bounded domain $Ω\subset\mathbb R^n$.
In this paper, we study qualitative properties of the fractional $p$-Laplacian. Specifically, we establish a Hopf type lemma for positive weak super-solutions of the fractional $p-$Laplacian equation with Dirichlet condition. Moreover, an optimal condition is obtained to ensure $(-\triangle)_p^s u\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ for smooth functions $u$.
We study various qualitative and quantitative (global) unique continuation properties for the fractional discrete Laplacian. We show that while the fractional Laplacian enjoys striking rigidity properties in the form of (global) unique continuation properties, the fractional discrete Laplacian does not enjoy these in general. While discretization thus counteracts the strong rigidity properties of the continuum fractional Laplacian, by discussing quantitative forms of unique continuation, we illustrate that these properties can be recovered if exponentially small (in the lattice size) correctio…
In this work we prove the non-degeneracy of the critical points of the Robin function for the Fractional Laplacian under symmetry and convexity assumptions on the domain $Ω$. This work extends to the fractional setting the results of M. Grossi concerning the classical Laplace operator.
We obtain some existence theorems for periodic solutions to several linear equations involving fractional Laplacian. We also prove that the lower bound of all periods for semilinear elliptic equations involving fractional Laplacian is not larger than some exact positive constant. Hamiltonian identity, Modica-type inequalities and an estimate of the energy for periodic solutions are also established.
We obtain fundamental imbeddings for the fractional Sobolev space with variable exponent that is a generalization of well-known fractional Sobolev spaces. As an application, we obtain a-priori bounds and multiplicity of solutions to some nonlinear elliptic problems involving the fractional $p(\cdot)$-Laplacian.
We show how nonlocal boundary conditions of Robin type can be encoded in the pointwise expression of the fractional operator. Notably, the fractional Laplacian of functions satisfying homogeneous nonlocal Neumann conditions can be expressed as a regional operator with a kernel having logarithmic behaviour at the boundary.
In this paper we give sufficient conditions on the approximating domains in order to obtain the continuity of solutions for the fractional $p-$laplacian. These conditions are given in terms of the fractional capacity of the approximating domains.
In this paper, we are interested to analyze a nonlocal nonlinear parabolic equation with fractional Laplacian. We show that there are no nontrivial global weak solutions using the test function method.
We investigate the role of the noncompact group of dilations in $\mathbb R^n$ on the difference of the quadratic forms associated to the fractional Dirichlet and Navier Laplacians. Then we apply our results to study the Brezis--Nirenberg effect in two families of noncompact boundary value problems involving the Navier-Laplacian.
We show that the fractional Laplacian on $\mathbb{R}^d$ fails to satisfy the Bakry-Émery curvature-dimension inequality $CD(κ,N)$ for all curvature bounds $κ\in \mathbb{R}$ and all finite dimensions $N>0$.
The short note here is to give a few heuristic arguments on the weird looking fractional Laplacian operator. This is certainly going to expand the vision of a reader who is looking to develope a taste for research in this direction.
We prove the attainability of the best constant in the fractional Hardy--Sobolev inequality with boundary singularity for the Spectral Dirichlet Laplacian. The main assumption is the average concavity of the boundary at the origin.
We prove the coincidence of the Sobolev and Hardy constants relative to the "Dirichlet" and "Navier" fractional Laplacians of any real order $m\in(0,\frac{n}{2})$ over bounded domains in $\mathbb R^n$.
