On fractional Laplacians

Analysis of PDEs 2013-10-08 v2

Abstract

We compare two natural types of fractional Laplacians (Δ)s(-\Delta)^s, "Navier" and "Dirichlet" ones. We show that for 0<s<10<s<1 their difference is positive definite and positivity preserving. Then we prove the coincidence of the Sobolev constants for these two fractional Laplacians.
