In this paper we prove the Lipschitz regularity for local minimizers of convex variational integrals of the form \[ \mathfrak{F}( v, \Omega )= \int_{\Omega} \! F(x, Dv(x)) \, dx, \] where, for ${n > 2}$ and $N\ge 1$, $\Omega$ is a bounded…

We obtain regularity results in weighted Sobolev spaces for the solution of the obstacle problem for the integral fractional Laplacian. The weight is a power of the distance to the boundary. These bounds then serve us as a guide in the…
