We study the local regularity properties of $(s,p)$-harmonic functions, i.e. local weak solutions to the fractional $p$-Laplace equation of order $s\in (0,1)$ in the case $p\in (1,2]$. It is shown that $(s,p)$-harmonic functions are weakly…

Let $\psi:{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow{\mathbf{R}}$ be a harmonic function such that $\Delta\psi(x)=0$ for all $x\in\mathcal{D}\subset{\mathbf{R}}^{n}$. There are then many well-established classical results:the Dirichlet problem and Poisson…

For $\alpha\in [1,2)$ we consider operators of the form $$L f(x)=\int_{R^d} [f(x+h)-f(x)-1_{(|h|\leq 1)} \nabla f(x)\cdot h] \frac{A(x,h)}{|h|^{d+\alpha}}$$ and for $\alpha\in (0,1)$ we consider the same operator but where the $\nabla f$…

In this work we extend the theory of the classical Hardy space $H^1$ to the rational Dunkl setting. Specifically, let $\Delta$ be the Dunkl Laplacian on a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^N$. On the half-space $\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}^N$,…
