Abstract

We prove H\"older regularity estimates up to the boundary for weak solutions uu to nonlocal Schr\"odinger equations subject to exterior Dirichlet conditions in an open set ΩRN\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N. The class of nonlocal operators considered here are defined, via Dirichlet forms, by kernels K(x,y)K(x,y) bounded from above and below by xyN+2s|x-y|^{N+2s}, with s(0,1)s\in (0,1). The entries in the equations are in some Morrey spaces and the underline domain Ω\Omega satisfies some mild regularity assumptions. In the particular case of the fractional Laplacian, our results are new. When KK defines a nonlocal operator with sufficiently regular coefficients, we obtain H\"older estimates, up to the boundary of Ω \Omega, for uu and the ratio u/dsu/d^s, with d(x)=dist(x,RNΩ)d(x)=\textrm{dist}(x,\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega). If the kernel KK defines a nonlocal operator with H\"older continuous coefficients and the entries are H\"older continuous, we obtain interior C2s+βC^{2s+\beta} regularity estimates of the weak solutions uu. Our argument is based on blow-up analysis and compact Sobolev embedding.
