Abstract
Motivated by problems in machine learning, we study a class of variational problems characterized by nonlocal operators. These operators are characterized by power-type weights, which are singular at a portion of the boundary. We identify a range of exponents on these weights for which the variational Dirichlet problem is well-posed. This range is determined by the ambient dimension of the problem, the growth rate of the nonlocal functional, and the dimension of the boundary portion on which the Dirichlet data is prescribed. We show the variational convergence of solutions to solutions of local weighted Sobolev functionals in the event of vanishing nonlocality.
