We discuss some basic properties of the eigenfunctions of a class of nonlocal operators whose model is the fractional p-Laplacian.
The short note here is to give a few heuristic arguments on the weird looking fractional Laplacian operator. This is certainly going to expand the vision of a reader who is looking to develope a taste for research in this direction.
In this PhD thesis, we deal with problems related to nonlocal operators, in particular to the fractional Laplacian and to some other types of fractional derivatives (the Caputo and the Marchaud derivatives). We make an extensive…
In this note we present some of the most basic aspects of the fractional Laplacean with a self-contained and purely didactic intent, and with a somewhat different slant from the several excellent existing references. Given the interest that…
The fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ is the prototypical non-local elliptic operator. While analytical theory has been advanced and understood for some time, there remain many open problems in the numerical analysis of the…
We characterize conditional Hardy spaces of the Laplacian and of the fractional Laplacian by using Hardy-Stein type identities.
It is noted that the standard definition of the fractional Laplacian leads to a hyper-singular convolution integral and is also obscure about how to implement the boundary conditions. This purpose of this note is to introduce a new…
In this note we introduce some nonlinear extremal nonlocal operators that approximate the, so called, truncated Laplacians. For these operators we construct representation formulas that lead to the construction of what, with an abuse of…
The aim of this paper is two-fold: first, we look at the fractional Laplacian and the conformal fractional Laplacian from the general framework of representation theory on symmetric spaces and, second, we construct new boundary operators…
We introduce a notion of fractional Laplacian for functions which grow more than linearly at infinity. In such case, the operator is not defined in the classical sense: nevertheless, we can give an ad-hoc definition which can be useful for…
The fractional Laplacian operator, $-(-\triangle)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}$, appears in a wide class of physical systems, including L\'evy flights and stochastic interfaces. In this paper, we provide a discretized version of this operator which…
The classical and the fractional Laplacians exhibit a number of similarities, but also some rather striking, and sometimes surprising, structural differences. A quite important example of these differences is that any function (regardless…
We investigate existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of nonlinear nonlocal problems involving the fractional $p$-Laplacian operator and singular nonlinearities.
In the present work we study existence of sequences of variational eigenvalues to non-local non-standard growth problems ruled by the fractional $g-$Laplacian operator with different boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin). Due…
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…
In this paper we analyze an eigenvalue problem related to the nonlocal $p-$laplace operator plus a potential. After reviewing some elementary properties of the first eigenvalue of these operators (existence, positivity of associated…
We consider the fractional Laplace framework and provide models and theorems related to nonlocal diffusion phenomena. Some applications are presented, including: a simple probabilistic interpretation, water waves, crystal dislocations,…
We show how nonlocal boundary conditions of Robin type can be encoded in the pointwise expression of the fractional operator. Notably, the fractional Laplacian of functions satisfying homogeneous nonlocal Neumann conditions can be expressed…

This book is intended as a self-contained introduction to selected topics in the fractional world, focusing particularly on aspects that arise in the study of equations driven by the fractional Laplacian. The scope of this work is not…
