Abstract

The goal of this paper is to study the LpL^p-solvability of the strongly-coupled nonlocal system Lu(x)+λu(x)=f(x)in Rd  \mathbb{L} \mathbf{u} (\mathbf{x}) + \lambda \mathbf{u}(\mathbf{x})= \mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x}) \quad \text{in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ } where L\mathbb{L} is a linear nonlocal coupled vector-valued operator associated with a kernel KK comparable to y(d+2s)|\mathbf{y}|^{-(d+2s)} for s(0,1)s \in (0,1), satisfying certain ellipticity and cancellation conditions. For any f[Lp(Rd)]d\mathbf{f} \in [L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)]^d, 1<p<1< p < \infty, the existence of a unique strong solution u[H2s,p(Rd)]d\mathbf{u} \in [H^{2s,p}(\mathbb{R}^d)]^d is proved via the method of continuity. To apply this method, we establish the continuity of the operator L\mathbb{L} and the necessary \textit{a priori} estimates. These are obtained through the study of the corresponding parabolic system. The proof strategy follows and extends recent ideas developed for the scalar setting, combining commutator estimates, Sobolev embeddings, a level set estimates and a bootstrap argument.
