We construct a bounded $C^{1}$ domain $\Omega$ in $R^{n}$ for which the $H^{3/2}$ regularity for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian cannot be improved, that is, there exists $f$ in $C^{\infty}(\overline\Omega)$ such that…

We introduce a notion of non-local almost minimal boundaries similar to that introduced by Almgren in geometric measure theory. Extending methods developed recently for non-local minimal surfaces we prove that flat non-local almost minimal…

A classical pseudodifferential operator $P$ on $R^n$ satisfies the $\mu$-transmission condition relative to a smooth open subset $\Omega $, when the symbol terms have a certain twisted parity on the normal to $\partial\Omega $. As shown…

We introduce the concept of $C^{m,\alpha}$-nonlocal operators, extending the notion of second order elliptic operator in divergence form with $C^{m,\alpha}$-coefficients. We then derive the nonlocal analogue of the key existing results for…

It is well known that minimizers of the Allen-Cahn-type functional \[ J_\epsilon(u):=\int_\Omega\frac{\epsilon|\nabla u|^2}{2}+\frac{W(u)}{\epsilon}, \] where $W$ is a double-well potential, resemble minimal surfaces in the sense that their…

We study fine boundary regularity properties of solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic integro-differential equations of order $2s$, with $s\in(0,1)$. We consider the class of nonlocal operators $\mathcal L_*\subset \mathcal L_0$, which…

Within the framework of Hilbert spaces, we solve nonlocal problems in bounded domains with prescribed conditions on the complement of the domain. Our main focus is on the inhomogeneous Neumann problem in a rather general setting. We also…

In this paper we prove the optimal $C^{1,1}(B_\frac12)$-regularity for a general obstacle type problem $$ \lap u = f\chi_{\{u\neq 0\}}\textup{in $B_1$}, $$ under the assumption that $f*N$ is $C^{1,1}(B_1)$, where $N$ is the Newtonian…
