Abstract

Let ΩRN\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N, N2N \geq 2, be a smooth bounded domain. For s(1/2,1)s \in (1/2,1), we consider a problem of the form {(Δ)su=μ(x)Ds2(u)+λf(x),\mboxinΩ,u=0,\mboxinRNΩ, \left\{\begin{aligned} (-\Delta)^s u & = \mu(x)\, \mathbb{D}_s^{2}(u) + \lambda f(x)\,, & \quad \mbox{in} \Omega,\\ u & = 0\,, & \quad \mbox{in} \mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega, \end{aligned} \right. where λ>0\lambda > 0 is a real parameter, ff belongs to a suitable Lebesgue space, μL(Ω)\mu \in L^{\infty}(\Omega) and Ds2\mathbb{D}_s^2 is a nonlocal "gradient square" term given by Ds2(u)=aN,s2\mboxp.v.RNu(x)u(y)2xyN+2sdy. \mathbb{D}_s^2 (u) = \frac{a_{N,s}}{2}\mbox{p.v.} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{N+2s}} dy \,. Depending on the real parameter λ>0\lambda > 0, we derive existence and non-existence results. The proof of our existence result relies on sharp Calder\'on-Zygmund type regularity results for the fractional Poisson equation with low integrability data. We also obtain existence results for related problems involving different nonlocal diffusion terms.
