Abstract

This paper deals with the obstacle problem for the fractional infinity Laplacian with nonhomogeneous term f(u)f(u), where f:R+R+f:\mathbb{R}^+ \mapsto \mathbb{R}^+: {L[u]=f(u)in{u>0}u0inΩu=gonΩ,\begin{cases} L[u]=f(u) &\qquad in \{u>0\}\\ u \geq 0 &\qquad in\, \Omega\\ u=g &\qquad on\, \partial \Omega\end{cases}, with L[u](x)=supyΩ,yxu(y)u(x)yxα+infyΩ,yxu(y)u(x)yxα,0<α<1.L[u](x)=\sup_{y\in \Omega,\,y\neq x}\dfrac{u(y)-u(x)}{|y-x|^{\alpha}}+\inf_{y\in \Omega,\,y\neq x} \dfrac{u(y)-u(x)}{|y-x|^\alpha},\qquad 0<\alpha<1. Under the assumptions that ff is a continuous and monotone function and that the boundary datum gg is in C0,β(Ω)C^{0,\beta}(\partial\Omega) for some 0<β<α0<\beta<\alpha, we prove existence of a solution uu to this problem. Moreover, this solution uu is β\beta-H\"olderian on Ω\overline{\Omega}. Our proof is based on an approximation of ff by an appropriate sequence of functions fεf_\varepsilon where we prove using Perron's method the existence of solutions uεu_\varepsilon, for every ε>0\varepsilon>0. Then, we show some uniform H\"older estimates on uεu_\varepsilon that guarantee that uεuu_\varepsilon \rightarrow u where this limit function uu turns out to be a solution to our obstacle problem.
