We prove and collect numerous explicit and computable results for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s f(x)$ with $s>0$ as well as its whole space inverse, the Riesz potential, $(-\Delta)^{-s}f(x)$ with $s\in\left(0,\frac{1}{2}\right)$.…

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 look for solutions of $(-\Delta)^s u+f(u) = 0$ in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$, $s\in(0,1)$, with a strong singularity at the boundary. In particular, we are interested in solutions which are $L^1(\Omega)$ and higher order with…

We study the Feynman-Kac semigroup generated by the Schr{\"o}dinger operator based on the fractional Laplacian $-(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} - q$ in $\Rd$, for $q \ge 0$, $\alpha \in (0,2)$. We obtain sharp estimates of the first eigenfunction…

We consider a magnetic Laplacian $-\Delta_A=(id+A)^\star (id+A)$ on a noncompact hyperbolic surface $\mM $ with finite area. $A$ is a real one-form and the magnetic field $dA$ is constant in each cusp. When the harmonic component of $A$…

In this work we extend the theory of the classical Hardy space $H^1$ to the rational Dunkl setting. Specifically, let $\Delta$ be the Dunkl Laplacian on a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^N$. On the half-space $\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}^N$,…
