Abstract

We prove a quantitative H\"{o}lder continuity result for viscosity solutions to the equation (Δp)su(x)+PVRnu(x)u(x+z)q2(u(x)u(x+z))ξ(x,z)zn+tqdz=fin  B2, (-\Delta_p)^{s}u(x) + {\rm PV} \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} |u(x)-u(x+z)|^{q-2}(u(x)-u(x+z))\frac{\xi(x,z)}{|z|^{n+ tq}} dz=f \quad \text{in}\; B_2, where t,s(0,1),1<pq,tqspt, s\in (0, 1), 1<p\leq q, tq\leq sp and ξ0\xi\geq 0. Specifically, we show that if ξ\xi is α\alpha-H\"{o}lder continuous and ff is β\beta-H\"{o}lder continuous then any viscosity solution is locally γ\gamma-H\"{o}lder continuous for any γ<γ\gamma<\gamma_\circ , where γ={min{1,sp+αβp1,spp2}for  p>2,min{1,sp+αβp1}for  p(1,2]. \gamma_\circ=\left\{\begin{array}{lll} \min\{1, \frac{sp+\alpha\wedge\beta}{p-1}, \frac{sp}{p-2}\} & \text{for}\; p>2, \\ \min\{1, \frac{sp+\alpha\wedge\beta}{p-1}\} & \text{for}\; p\in (1, 2]. \end{array} \right. Moreover, if min{sp+αβp1,spp2}>1\min\{\frac{sp+\alpha\wedge\beta}{p-1}, \frac{sp}{p-2}\}>1 when p>2p>2, or sp+αβp1>1\frac{sp+\alpha\wedge\beta}{p-1}>1 when p(1,2]p\in (1, 2], the solution is locally Lipschitz. This extends the result of [20] to the case of H\"{o}lder continuous modulating coefficients. Additionally, due to the equivalence between viscosity and weak solutions, our result provides a local Lipschitz estimate for weak solutions of (Δp)su(x)=0(-\Delta_p)^{s}u(x)=0 provided either p(1,2]p\in (1, 2] or sp>p2sp>p-2 when p>2p>2, thereby improving recent works [9, 10, 24].
