We investigate symmetry properties of the first nontrivial eigenfunctions of the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$, where $s \in (0,1)$, in an $N$-dimensional ball with nonlocal Neumann boundary conditions. By means of a spectral stability…

We give a proof that the first eigenfunction of the $\alpha$-symmetric stable process on a bounded Lipschitz domain in $\R^d$, $d\geq 1$, is superharmonic for $\alpha=2/m$, where $m>2$ is an integer. This result was first proved for the…

We use the polyharmonic extension approach to develop a numerical technique for discretizing higher-order powers of the spectral fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$ with $s \in (1,2)$.

We present three equivalent definitions of the fractional $p$-Laplacian $(-\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^{n}})^{s}_{p}$, $0<s<1$, $p>1$, with normalizing constants, on hyperbolic spaces. The explicit values of the constants enable us to study the…

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…

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.

In this paper we deduce a formula for the fractional Laplace operator $(-\Delta)^{s}$ on radially symmetric functions useful for some applications. We give a criterion of subharmonicity associated with $(-\Delta)^{s}$, and apply it to a…

In this paper we present an approximation result concerning the first eigenvalue of the 1-Laplacian operator. More precisely, for $\Omega$ a bounded regular open domain, we consider a minimisation of the functional ${\ds \int_\Omega}|\nabla…

We prove that the first eigenvalue of the fractional Dirichlet-Laplacian of order $s$ on a simply connected set of the plane can be bounded from below in terms of its inradius only. This is valid for $1/2<s<1$ and we show that this…

Our concern in this paper is to study the qualitative properties for harmonic functions related to the fractional Laplacian. Firstly we classify the polynomials in the whole space and in the half space for the fractional Laplacian defined…

We establish an integration by parts formula in bounded domains for the higher order fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$ with $s>1$. We also obtain the Pohozaev identity for this operator. Both identities involve local boundary terms, and…

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…

Let $x:M^m\to \bar M$, with $m\geq 3$, be an isometric immersion of a complete noncompact manifold $M$ in a complete simply-connected manifold $\bar M$ with sectional curvature satisfying $-c^2\leq K_{\bar M}\leq 0$, for some constant $c$.…

In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of the first non-zero Neumann $p-$fractional eigenvalue $\lambda_1(s,p)$ as $s\to 1^-$ and as $p\to\infty.$ We show that there exists a constant $\mathcal{K}$ such that…

In this note, we study the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the regional fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$ as $ s \to 0^+$. Our analysis leads to a study of the regional logarithmic Laplacian, which arises as a…

We prove the Harnack inequality for antisymmetric $s$-harmonic functions, and more generally for solutions of fractional equations with zero-th order terms, in a general domain. This may be used in conjunction with the method of moving…

We compute the shape derivative of the first eigenvalue of the 1-Laplacian. As an application, we find that a ball is critical among all volume-preserving deformations.

In this paper we analyze the semi-linear fractional Laplace equation $$(-\Delta)^s u = f(u) \quad\text{ in } \mathbb{R}^N_+,\quad u=0 \quad\text{ in } \mathbb{R}^N\setminus \mathbb{R}^N_+,$$ where $\mathbb{R}^N_+=\{x=(x',x_N)\in…

We consider the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$, with $s\in (0,1)$, related to a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$. We prove that there exists an arbitrarily small perturbation $\tilde\Omega=(I+\psi)(\Omega)$ of…

We establish interior $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity estimates for some $\alpha > 0$, for solutions of the fractional $p$-Laplace equation $(-\Delta_p)^s u = 0$ when $p$ is in the range $p \in [2,2/(1-s))$.
