Abstract

This paper is devoted to investigating the interior C1,αC^{1, \alpha} regularity of viscosity solutions to the nonlocal double phase equations Rd(u(x)u(y)p2(u(x)u(y))xyd+sp+a(x,y)u(x)u(y)q2(u(x)u(y))xyd+tq)dy=0, \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \left(\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^{p-2}(u(x)-u(y))}{|x-y|^{d+sp}}+a(x,y)\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^{q-2}(u(x)-u(y))}{|x-y|^{d+tq}}\right)\,dy=0, where 2pq2\le p\le q, s,t(0,1)s, t\in (0, 1) with sts\le t, and a(x,y)0a(x, y)\ge0. In the degenerate case, we solve the higher regularity issue raised by De Filippis-Palatucci [J. Differential Equations \textbf{267} (2019) 547--586]. By assuming the Lipschitz continuity of the modulating coefficient aa, we are able to prove that the gradient of solution is H\"older continuous, provided the distance of tqtq and spsp is suitably small. The core challenges consist in precisely characterizing the subtle interaction among the pointwise behaviour of the coefficient aa, the growth exponents and the differentiability orders.
