Abstract

We introduce a weighted Sobolev space theory for the non-local elliptic equation $$ \Delta^{\alpha/2}u=f, \quad x\in D\,; \quad u|_{\overline{D}^c}=g $$ as well as for the non-local parabolic equation $$ u_t=\Delta^{\alpha/2}u+f, \quad t>0,\, x\in D \,; \quad u(0,\cdot)|_D=u_0, \,u|_{(0,T)\times \overline{D}^c}=g. $$ Here, $\alpha\in (0,2)$ and $D$ is a $C^{1,1}$ open set. We prove uniqueness and existence results in weighted Sobolev spaces. We measure the Sobolev and H\"older regularities of arbitrary order derivatives of solutions using a system of weights consisting of appropriate powers of the distance to the boundary. One of the most interesting features of our results is that, unlike the classical result in Sobolev spaces without weights, the weighted regularities of solutions in $D$ are barely affected by those of $g$ in $\overline{D}^c$. For instance, even if $g=\delta_{x_0}$, the dirac delta distribution concentrated at $x_0\in \overline{D}^c $, the solution to the elliptic equation given with $f=0$ is infinitely differentiable in $D$, and for any $k=0,1,2, 3,\cdots$, $\varepsilon>0$, and $\delta\in (0,1)$, it holds that $$ |d_x^{-\frac{\alpha}{2}+\varepsilon+k}D^k_xu|_{C(D)} +|d_x^{-\frac{\alpha}{2}+\varepsilon+k+\delta} D^k_xu|_{C^{\delta}(D)}<\infty, $$ where $d_x=dist(x, \partial D)$.<br />Comment: 46 pages
