Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of distributional solutions of the following non-local elliptic problem \begin{eqnarray*} \left\lbrace \begin{array}{l} (-\Delta)^{s}u + |\nabla u|^{p} =f \quad\text{ in } \Omega \qquad \qquad \qquad \,\,\, u=0 \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}\setminus \Omega, \quad s \in (1/2, 1). \end{array} \right. \end{eqnarray*} We are interested in the relation between the regularity of the source term ff, and the regularity of the corresponding solution. If p<2sp<2s, that is the natural growth, we are able to show the existence for all fL1(\O)f\in L^1(\O). In the subcritical case, that is, for p<p:=N/(N2s+1)p < p_{*}:=N/(N-2s+1), we show that solutions are C1,α\mathcal{C}^{1, \alpha} for fLmf \in L^{m}, with mm large enough. In the general case, we achieve the same result under a condition on the size of the source. As an application, we may show that for regular sources, distributional solutions are viscosity solutions, and conversely.
