Nonhomogeneous boundary condition for spectral non-local operators
Abstract
We study semilinear non-local elliptic problems driven by spectral-type operators of the form in a bounded domain with a nonhomogeneous boundary condition. Here is a Bernstein function satisfying a weak scaling condition at infinity, and is the generator of a killed L\'evy process. This general framework covers and extends the theory of the interpolated fractional Laplacian. A key novelty in this setting is the analysis of the nonhomogeneous boundary condition formulated in terms of the Poisson potential with respect to the Hausdorff measure on . We establish sharp boundary estimates for Green and Poisson potentials, introduce a weak trace-like boundary operator, and provide existence results for solutions under quite general nonlinearities, including sign-changing and non-monotone cases. The methodology combines stochastic process techniques, potential theory, and spectral analysis, and expresses the boundary behavior of the solution in terms of the renewal function and the distance to the boundary, suggesting a possible unified treatment of semilinear boundary problems in non-local settings.
