We study the boundary weighted regularity of weak solutions $u$ to a $s$-fractional $p$-Laplacian equation in a bounded smooth domain $Ω$ with bounded reaction and nonlocal Dirichlet type boundary condition, in the singular case $p\in(1,2)$ and with $s\in(0,1)$. We prove that $u/{\rm d}_Ω^s$ has a $α$-Hölder continuous extension to the closure of $Ω$, ${\rm d}_Ω(x)$ meaning the distance of $x$ from the complement of $Ω$. This result corresponds to that of ref. [28] for the degenerate case $p\ge 2$.
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 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.
For a one-phase free boundary problem involving a fractional Laplacian, we prove that "flat free boundaries" are $C^{1,α}$. We recover the regularity results of Caffarelli for viscosity solutions of the classical Bernoulli-type free boundary problem with the standard Laplacian.
We consider Orlicz-growth generalization to evolutionary $p$-Laplacian and to the evolutionary symmetric $p$-Laplacian. We derive the spatial second-order Caccioppoli estimate for a local weak solution to these systems. The result is new even for the $p$-case.
We prove a higher regularity result for the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian via a higher order boundary Harnack inequality.
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.
In this paper we study the existence of positive smooth solutions for a class of singular (p(x),q(x))- Laplacian systems by using sub and supersolution methods.
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 $s = 0$.
We establish interior and up to the boundary Hölder regularity estimates for weak solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the fractional $g-$Laplacian with bounded right hand side and $g$ convex. These are the first regularity results available in the literature for integro-differential equations in the context of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces.
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.
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.
We compare two natural types of fractional Laplacians $(-Δ)^s$, "Navier" and "Dirichlet" ones. We show that for $0<s<1$ their difference is positive definite and positivity preserving. Then we prove the coincidence of the Sobolev constants for these two fractional Laplacians.
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 $δ\to+\infty$.
We consider the IBVP in exterior domains for the p-Laplacian parabolic system. We prove regularity up to the boundary, extinction properties for p \in ( 2n/(n+2) , 2n/(n+1) ) and exponential decay for p= 2n/(n+1) .
We study the regularity of the solutions to initial-boundary value problems for N-systems of the p-Laplacian type, in $n\geq 3$ space variables, with square-integrable external forces in the space-time cylinder. So, the ellipticity coefficient remains unbounded. The singular case $μ=0 $ is covered.
We extend the classical Liouville Theorem from Laplacian to the fractional Laplacian, that is, we prove Every $α$-harmonic function bounded either above or below in all of $R^n$ must be constant.
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.
We prove interior Lipschitz regularity result for weak and viscosity solutions of the pseudo $p$Laplacien $(p-1)\sum_i |\partial_i u|^{p-2} \partial_{ii} u = f$ for $p>2$ and $f$ bounded.
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 study an evolution equation involving the normalized $p$-Laplacian and a bounded continuous source term. The normalized $p$-Laplacian is in non divergence form and arises for example from stochastic tug-of-war games with noise. We prove local $C^{α, \fracα{2}}$ regularity for the spatial gradient of the viscosity solutions. The proof is based on an improvement of flatness and proceeds by iteration.
We use a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem. We write an equivalent characterization as a thin obstacle problem. In this way we are able to apply local type arguments to obtain sharp regularity estimates for the solution and study the regularity of the free boundary.
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.
We consider the evolutionary symmetric $p$-Laplacian with safety $1$. By symmetric we mean that the full gradient of $p$-Laplacian is replaced by its symmetric part, which causes breakdown of the Uhlenbeck structure. We derive the interior regularity of time derivatives of its local weak solution. To circumvent the space-time growth mismatch, we devise a new local regularity technique of iterations in Nikolskii-Bochner spaces. It is interesting by itself, as it may be modified to provide new regularity results for the full-gradient $p$-Laplacian case with lower-order dependencies. Finally, hav…
The existence of at least two solutions to superlinear integral equation in cone is proved using the Krasnosielskii Fixed Point Theorem. The result is applied to the Dirichlet BVPs with the fractional Laplacian.
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 $u$.
In this paper we establish a comparison result through symmetrization for solutions to some boundary value problems involving the fractional Laplacian. This allows to get sharp estimates for the solutions, obtained by comparing them with solutions of suitable radial problems. Furthermore, we use such result to prove a priori estimates for solutions in terms of the data, providing several regularity results which extend the well known ones for the classical Laplacian.
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 $Ω\subset\mathbb R^n$.
We investigate the existence of nonnegative solutions for a nonlinear problem involving the fractional p-Laplacian operator. The problem is set on a unbounded domain, and compactness issues have to be handled.
In this note we present the Pohozaev identity for the fractional Laplacian. As a consequence of this identity, we prove the nonexistence of nontrivial bounded solutions to semilinear problems with supercritical nonlinearities in star-shaped domains.
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.
By virtue of barrier arguments we prove $C^α$-regularity up to the boundary for the weak solutions of a non-local nonlinear problem driven by the fractional $p$-Laplacian operator. The equation is boundedly inhomogeneous and the boundary conditions are of Dirichlet type. We employ different methods according to the singular ($p<2$) of degenerate ($p>2$) case.
Following \cite{B2}, we introduce a notion of para-products associated to a semi-group. We do not use Fourier transform arguments and the background manifold is doubling, endowed with a sub-laplacian structure. Our main result is a paralinearization theorem in a non-euclidean framework, with an application to the propagation of regularity for some nonlinear PDEs.
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.
In this paper we study existence and nonexistence of nonnegative distributional solutions for a class of semilinear fractional elliptic equations involving the Hardy potential.
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 study the Brezis--Nirenberg effect in two families of noncompact boundary value problems involving Dirichlet-Laplacian of arbitrary real order $m>0$.
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 $N>0$.
In this paper we study the $H^2$ global regularity for solutions of the $p(x)-$Laplacian in two dimensional convex domains with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here $p:Ω\to [p_1,\infty)$ with $p\in Lip(\barΩ)$ and $p_1>1$.
In this paper we study a one phase free boundary problem for the p(x)-Laplacian with non-zero right hand side. We prove that the free boundary of a weak solution is a C^1 surface in a neighborhood of every free boundary point. We also obtain further regularity results on the free boundary, under further regularity assumptions on the data. We apply these results to limit functions of an inhomogeneous singular perturbation problem for the p(x)-Laplacian that we studied in Lederman, C., & Wolanski, N. An inhomogeneous singular perturbation problem for the p(x)-Laplacian, Non- linear Anal. 138 (20…
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 $\mathbb R^n$.
