Optimal regularity of solutions to the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian with drift

چکیده
We prove existence, uniqueness and optimal regularity of solutions to the stationary obstacle problem defined by the fractional Laplacian operator with drift, in the subcritical regime. As in [1], we localize our problem by considering a suitable extension operator introduced in [2]. The structure of the extension equation is different from the one constructed in [1], in that the obstacle function has less regularity, and exhibits some singularities. To take into account the new features of the problem, we prove a new monotonicity formula, which we then use to establish the optimal regularity of solutions.

Existence solutions for new p-Laplacian fractional boundary value problem with impulsive effects
Fractional differential equations have been of great interest recently. This is because of both the intensive development of the theory of fractional calculus itself and the applications of such constructions in various scientific fields such as physics, mechanics, chemistry, engineering, etc. Differential equations with impulsive effects arising from the real world describe the dyn...
متن کاملRegularity estimates for the solution and the free boundary to the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian
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 study sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions of three point boundary vale problem for p-Laplacian fractional order differential equations. We use Schauder's fixed point theorem for existence of solutions and concavity of the operator for uniqueness of solution. We include some examples to show the applicability of our results.
متن کاملConvergence rates for the classical, thin and fractional elliptic obstacle problems.
We review the finite-element approximation of the classical obstacle problem in energy and max-norms and derive error estimates for both the solution and the free boundary. On the basis of recent regularity results, we present an optimal error analysis for the thin obstacle problem. Finally, we discuss the localization of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian and prove quasi-optimal...
متن کاملRegularity for the Supercritical Fractional Laplacian with Drift
We consider the linear stationary equation defined by the fractional Laplacian with drift. In the supercritical case, wherein the dominant term is given by the drift instead of the diffusion component, we prove local regularity of solutions in Sobolev spaces employing tools from the theory of pseudo-differential operators. The regularity of solutions in the supercritical case is as expected fro...
