Consider a classical elliptic pseudodifferential operator $P$ on ${\Bbb R}^n$ of order $2a$ ($0<a<1)$ with even symbol. For example, $P=A(x,D)^a$ where $A(x,D)$ is a second-order strongly elliptic differential operator; the fractional…

Our aim is to characterize the homogeneous fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i} spaces $\mathcal{D}^{s,p} (\mathbb{R}^n)$ and their embeddings, for $s \in (0,1]$ and $p\ge 1$. They are defined as the completion of the set of smooth and…

This paper studies smoothing properties of the local fractional maximal operator, which is defined in a proper subdomain of the Euclidean space. We prove new pointwise estimates for the weak gradient of the maximal function, which imply…

Given a strongly local Dirichlet space and $\lambda\geq 0$, we introduce a new notion of $\lambda$--subharmonicity for $L^1_\loc$--functions, which we call \emph{local $\lambda$--shift defectivity}, and which turns out to be equivalent to…

A basilar property and a useful tool in the theory of Sobolev spaces is the density of smooth compactly supported functions in the space $W^{k,p}(\R^n)$ (i.e. the functions with weak derivatives of orders $0$ to $k$ in $L^p$). On Riemannian…

We give $L^p$ estimates for the second derivatives of weak solutions to the Dirichlet problem for equation $\Div(\mathbf{A}\nabla u) = f$ in $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with Sobolev coefficients. In particular, for $f\in L^2(\Omega)…

We consider an elliptic Kolmogorov equation $\lambda u - Ku = f$ in a separable Hilbert space $H$. The Kolmogorov operator $K$ is associated to an infinite dimensional convex gradient system: $dX = (AX - DU(X))dt + dW (t)$, where $A $ is a…

We investigate discrete fractional Laplacians defined on the half-lattice in several dimensions, allowing possibly different fractional orders along each coordinate direction. By expressing the half-lattice operator as a boundary…

We survey some recent regularity results for fractional p-Laplacian elliptic equations, especially focusing on pure and weighted boundary H\"older continuity of the solutions of related Dirichlet problems. Then, we present some applications…

We prove a regularity result for the Poisson problem $-\Delta u = f$, $u |\_{\pa \PP} = g$ on a polyhedral domain $\PP \subset \RR^3$ using the \BK\ spaces $\Kond{m}{a}(\PP)$. These are weighted Sobolev spaces in which the weight is given…
