Abstract

We consider an elliptic equation driven by the $s$-fractional $p$-Laplacian, set in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ with homogeneous nonlocal Dirichlet conditions and a reaction $f$ lying in $L^q(\Omega)$ for some $q\ge 1$. We prove that the unique solution $u$ is $\alpha$-H\"older continuous up to the boundary, for any $\alpha$ below $p'(s-N/pq)$ if $N/psN/s$. Also, we prove that if $q>N/s$ then $u/{\rm d}_\Omega^s$ admits a H\"older continuous extension to the closure of $\Omega$, where ${\rm d}_\Omega$ denotes the distance from the boundary. Our results are almost optimal and extend previous regularity theorems known in the linear case.

Optimal stability of Dirichlet problem for the regional fractional $p$-Laplacian

We establish the optimal stability of Dirichlet boundary value problem for the regional (fractional) $p$-Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s_{p,\Omega}$ with $0<s\leq 1$, $\frac{1}{s}<p<\infty$ and $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ bounded Lipschitz. More precisely, if $u_s \in W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ satisfies $(-\Delta)^s_{p,\Omega} u_s = f_...

Boundary growth rates for superharmonic functions satisfying a nonlinear inequality in a Lipschitz domain

In a Lipschitz domain $$\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$$ , we investigate the boundary behavior of positive superharmonic functions u satisfying the nonlinear inequality $$-\Delta u(x)\le cd(x,\partial \Omega )^{-\tau }u(x)^p$$ . Based on the fact that, in some ranges of p and $$\tau $$ , the po...

On the generalized Fredholm alternative for the $p$-Laplacian with resonant subhomogeneous terms

Let $1 \leq q<p$ and let $\lambda_1$ be the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian in a bounded domain $\Omega$. We study the energy functional $$ E_\lambda(u)=\frac{1}{p}\left(\int_\Omega|\nabla u|^p\,dx -\lambda\int_\Omega|u|^p\,dx\right)-\mathcal{F}(u), \quad u\in W_0^{1,p}(\Omega), $$ where $\mathcal{F}$ is positive...

Serrin-type overdetermined problem for the $p$-Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions

Let $\Omega$ be an open bounded connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N \geq 2$, of class $C^{2,\alpha}$, for $\alpha \in (0,1)$. Let $p \geq 2$ and $\beta>0$. We prove the symmetry of the solution of the $p$-torsion problem with Robin boundary condition subject to the natural overdetermined condition coming from a shap...

Higher Regularity of Homogeneous Gradient Compositions for $p$-Laplace-Type Equations

In this paper, we study higher regularity of homogeneous functions of the gradient of solutions to the inhomogeneous $p$-Laplace equation $\operatorname{div}(|Du|^{p-2}Du)=f$. Although a solution need not be of class $C^2$ across its critical set, its gradient is locally H\"older continuous. Suppose that $Du\in C^{0,\a...

Lower order term for the fractional Laplacian with a Hardy potential

This paper is concerned with the following semilinear elliptic equation involving the fractional Laplacian: $$(-\Delta)^s u+ g|u|^{p-1}u= \lambda \frac{u}{|x|^{2s}}+f(x),$$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N\,(N>2s)$, subject to the zero Dirichlet condition in $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus \Omega$, where $01$ and $...
