چکیده
We use a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem. We write an equivalent characterization as a thin obstacle problem. In this way we are able to apply local type arguments to obtain sharp regularity estimates for the solution and study the regularity of the free boundary.

Convergence rates for the classical, thin and fractional elliptic obstacle problems.
We review the finite-element approximation of the classical obstacle problem in energy and max-norms and derive error estimates for both the solution and the free boundary. On the basis of recent regularity results, we present an optimal error analysis for the thin obstacle problem. Finally, we discuss the localization of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian and prove quasi-optimal...
متن کاملExistence and uniqueness of solutions for p-laplacian fractional order boundary value problems
In this paper, we study sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions of three point boundary vale problem for p-Laplacian fractional order differential equations. We use Schauder's fixed point theorem for existence of solutions and concavity of the operator for uniqueness of solution. We include some examples to show the applicability of our results.
متن کاملExistence solutions for new p-Laplacian fractional boundary value problem with impulsive effects
Fractional differential equations have been of great interest recently. This is because of both the intensive development of the theory of fractional calculus itself and the applications of such constructions in various scientific fields such as physics, mechanics, chemistry, engineering, etc. Differential equations with impulsive effects arising from the real world describe the dyn...
متن کاملGlobal Regularity for the Free Boundary in the Obstacle Problem for the Fractional Laplacian
We study the regularity of the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian under the assumption that the obstacle φ satisfies ∆φ ≤ 0 near the contact region. Our main result establishes that the free boundary consists of a set of regular points, which is known to be a (n− 1)-dimensional C manifold by the results in [7], and a set of singular points, which we prove to be c...
متن کاملFree Boundary Regularity in the Parabolic Fractional Obstacle Problem
The parabolic obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian naturally arises in American option models when the assets prices are driven by pure jump Lévy processes. In this paper we study the regularity of the free boundary. Our main result establishes that, when s > 12 , the free boundary is a C 1,α graph in x and t near any regular free boundary point (x0, t0) ∈ ∂{u > φ}. Furthermore, we als...
