We establish sharp boundary regularity estimates in $C^1$ and $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains for nonlocal problems of the form $Lu=f$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ in $\Omega^c$. Here, $L$ is a nonlocal elliptic operator of order $2s$, with $s\in(0,1)$.…

We prove a Hopf's lemma in the point-wise sense. The essential technique is to prove $(-\Delta)^s_p u(x)$ is uniformly bounded in the unit ball $B_1\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, where $u(x)=(1-|x|^2)^s_{+}$. Also we study the global H\"older…

In the present paper we prove estimates on {subsolutions of the equation $-Av+c(x)v=0$}, $x\in D$, where $D\subset \bbR^d$ is a domain (i.e. an open and connected set) and $A$ is an integro-differential operator of the Waldenfels type,…
