We introduce a notion of fractional convexity that extends naturally the usual notion of convexity in the Euclidean space to a fractional setting. With this notion of fractional convexity, we study the fractional convex envelope inside a…

We provide a new proof of the fractional version of the De Giorgi conjecture for the Allen-Cahn equation in $\mathbb{R}^2$ for the full range of exponents. Our proof combines a method introduced by A. Farina in 2003 with the $s$-harmonic…

The idea of fractional derivatives has a long history that dates back centuries. Apart from their intriguing mathematical properties, fractional derivatives have been studied widely in physics, for example in quantum mechanics and generally…

We generate the fractional Poisson process by subordinating the standard Poisson process to the inverse stable subordinator. Our analysis is based on application of the Laplace transform with respect to both arguments of the evolving…
