Abstract:
A notion of almost minimizers is introduced for certain variational problems governed by the fractional Laplacian, with the help of the Caffarelli–Silvestre extension. In particular, almost fractional harmonic functions and almost minimizers for the fractional obstacle problem with zero obstacle are treated. It is shown that for a certain range of parameters, almost minimizers are almost Lipschitz or C1,β-regular.
Keywords:
almost minimizers, fractional Laplacian, fractional harmonic functions, fractional obstacle problem, regularity of solutions.
