We study problems in which a local model is coupled with a nonlocal one. We propose two energies: both of them are based on the same classical weighted $H^1$-semi norm to model the local part, while two different weighted $H^s$-semi norms,…

We present nonlocal variants of the famous Meyers' example of limited higher integrability and differentiability. In the limit $s \nearrow 1$ we recover the standard Meyers' example. We consider the fractional Laplacian based on differences…

A set of pointwise estimates are established for local solutions to nonlocal diffusion equations with a drift term. In particular, our Harnack estimates are the first ones for such equations, and our H\"older regularity refines certain…
