We consider the fractional powers of singular (point-like) perturbations of the Laplacian, and the singular perturbations of fractional powers of the Laplacian, and we compare such two constructions focusing on their perturbative structure…
We calculate the fractional Laplacian for functions of the form $u(x)=(1-|x|^2)_+^p$ and $v(x)=x_d u(x)$. As an application, we estimate the first eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian in a ball.

This paper is partly a historical survey of various approaches and methods in the fractional calculus, partly a description of the Kipriyanov extraordinary theory in comparison with the classical one. The significance and outstanding…
We relate non integer powers ${\mathcal L}^{s}$, $s>0$ of a given (unbounded) positive self-adjoint operator $\mathcal L$ in a real separable Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ with a certain differential operator of order $2\lceil{s}\rceil$,…
The fractional laplacian is an operator appearing in several evolution models where diffusion coming from a L\'evy process is present but also in the analysis of fluid interphases. We provide an extension of a pointwise inequality that…
The concept of local fractional derivative was introduced in order to be able to study the local scaling behavior of functions. However it has turned out to be much more useful. It was found that simple equations involving these operators…
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…
We present some recent results obtained by the author on the regularity of solutions to nonlocal variational problems. In particular, we review the notion of fractional De Giorgi class, explain its role in nonlocal regularity theory, and…
Historically the fractional calculus concept works an extended idea based on the question asked by Guillaume de L'H\^opital to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1695 about the notation ${d^nf}/{dx^n}$ for the derivative operator "What if…
This work is devoted to the study of the existence of solutions to nonlocal equations involving the fractional Laplacian. These equations have a variational structure and we find a nontrivial solution for them using the Mountain Pass…
In this short note we present a new general definition of local fractional derivative, that depends on an unknown kernel. For some appropriate choices of the kernel we obtain some known cases. We establish a relation between this new…
In this paper we consider approximations of Neumann problems for the integral fractional Laplacian by continuous, piecewise linear finite elements. We analyze the weak formulation of such problems, including their well-posedness and…
We provide a suitable variational approach for a class of nonlocal problems involving the fractional laplacian and singular nonlinearities for which the standard techniques fail. As a corollary we deduce a characterization of the solutions.
The area of fractional calculus (FC) has been fast developing and is presently being applied in all scientific fields. Therefore, it is of key relevance to assess the present state of development and to foresee, if possible, the future…
We consider the spectral definition of the fractional Laplace operator and study a basic linear problem involving this operator and singular forcing. In two dimensions, we introduce an appropriate weak formulation in fractional Sobolev…
We study the fractional Laplacian and the homogeneous Sobolev spaces on R^d , by considering two definitions that are both considered classical. We compare these different definitions, and show how they are related by providing an explicit…
