Obstacle problems for integro-differential operators: regularity of solutions and free boundaries
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the obstacle problem for integro-differential operators of order 2s, with s ∈ (0, 1). Our main result establishes that the free boundary is C and u ∈ C near all regular points. Namely, we prove the following dichotomy at all free boundary points x0 ∈ ∂{u = φ}: (i) either u(x)− φ(x) = c d(x) + o(|x− x0|) for some c > 0, (ii) or u(x)− φ(x) = o(|x− x0|), where d is the distance to the contact set {u = φ}. Moreover, we show that the set of free boundary points x0 satisfying (i) is open, and that the free boundary is C and u ∈ C near those points. These results were only known for the fractional Laplacian [CSS08], and are completely new for more general integro-differential operators. The methods we develop here are purely nonlocal, and do not rely on any monotonicity-type formula for the operator. Thanks to this, our techniques can be applied in the much more general context of fully nonlinear integro-differential operators: we establish similar regularity results for obstacle problems with convex operators.

The analytical solutions for Volterra integro-differential equations within Local fractional operators by Yang-Laplace transform
In this paper, we apply the local fractional Laplace transform method (or Yang-Laplace transform) on Volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind within the local fractional integral operators to obtain the analytical approximate solutions. The iteration procedure is based on local fractional derivative operators. This approach provides us with a convenient way to find a solution ...
