Boundary regularity estimates for nonlocal elliptic equations in $C^1$ and $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains
Abstract
We establish sharp boundary regularity estimates in and domains for nonlocal problems of the form in , in . Here, is a nonlocal elliptic operator of order , with . First, in domains we show that all solutions are up to the boundary and that , where is the distance to . In domains, solutions are in general not comparable to , and we prove a boundary Harnack principle in such domains. Namely, we show that if and are positive solutions, then is bounded and H\"older continuous up to the boundary. Finally, we establish analogous results for nonlocal equations with bounded measurable coefficients in non-divergence form. All these regularity results will be essential tools in a forthcoming work on free boundary problems for nonlocal elliptic operators \cite{CRS-obstacle}.
