We compare two natural types of fractional Laplacians $(-\Delta)^s$, "Navier" and "Dirichlet" ones. We show that for $0<s<1$ their difference is positive definite and positivity preserving. Then we prove the coincidence of the Sobolev…
For $s>-1$, $s\notin\mathbb N_0$, we compare two natural types of fractional Laplacians $(-\Delta)^s$, namely, the restricted Dirichlet and the spectral Neumann ones. We show that for the quadratic form of their difference taken on the…
The fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ is a non-local operator which depends on the parameter $\alpha$ and recovers the usual Laplacian as $\alpha \to 2$. A numerical method for the fractional Laplacian is proposed, based on the…
A discrete version of the symmetric duality of Caputo-Torres, to relate left and right Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional differences, is considered. As a corollary, we provide an evidence to the fact that in case of right fractional…

In this note we give a glimpse of the fractional Laplacian. In particular, we bring several definitions of this non-local operator and series of proofs of its properties. It is structured in a way as to show that several of those properties…

We introduce a definition of the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{s(\cdot)}$ with spatially variable order $s:\Omega\to [0,1]$ and study the solvability of the associated Poisson problem on a bounded domain $\Omega$. The initial motivation…
It is well known from the work of Caffarelli and Silvestre that the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta_x)^{\frac{\sigma}{2}}$ for $\sigma \in (0,2)$ can be obtained as a Dirichlet-to-Neumann map through an extension problem to the upper half…
The fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ is the prototypical non-local elliptic operator. While analytical theory has been advanced and understood for some time, there remain many open problems in the numerical analysis of the…
In this paper, we introduce, for the first time, the fractional--logarithmic Laplacian \( (-\Delta)^{s+\log} \), defined as the derivative of the fractional Laplacian \( (-\Delta)^t \) at \( t=s \). It is a singular integral operator with…
This paper presents a new formulation of the fractional Laplacian operator $(-\Delta)^s$ in $n$-dimensional space ($n \ge 1$). The proposed formulation expresses $(-\Delta)^s$ as a composition of the classical Laplace differential operator…
We study the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\sigma/2}$ on the $n$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, $n\geq1$. First, we present a general extension problem that describes \textit{any} fractional power $L^\gamma$, $\gamma>0$, where $L$ is…

We collect some peculiarities of higher-order fractional Laplacians $(-\Delta)^s$, $s>1$, with special attention to the range $s\in(1,2)$, which show their oscillatory nature. These include the failure of the polarization and…
In this paper, we present a new derivative via the Laplace transform. The Laplace transform leads to a natural form of the fractional derivative which is equivalent to a Riemann-Liouville derivative with fixed terminal point. We first…

In this paper we introduce two new fractional versions of the Laplacian. The first one is based on the classical formula that writes the usual Laplacian as the sum of the eigenvalues of the Hessian. The second one comes from looking at the…
In this paper we study the obstacle problems for the Navier (spectral) fractional Laplacian $\left(-\Delta_\Omega\right)^{\!s}$ of order $s\in(0,1)$, in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$.
In this note, we study the connection between the fractional Laplacian operator that appeared in the recent work of Caffarelli-Silvestre and a class of conformally covariant operators in conformal geometry.
