Nov 4, 2020 at 19:07 comment added Giuseppe Negro That's not a general identity which holds for all $u$. Take for example $u(x, y)=y^{1-a}$, you'll see that the LHS equals $(a-1)$ while the RHS equals $\frac{1}{1-a}$. For that identity to hold, $u$ must satisfy the given PDE. In any case, from the way the author phrase the result, I understand that they are going to prove the identity later in the paper.

Nov 4, 2020 at 17:46 comment added inoc If i apply l'Hospital's rule, i have that: $$ \frac{1}{1-a}\lim_{y\to0}\frac{u(x,y)-u(x,0)}{y^{1-a}}=\frac{1}{(1-a)^2}\lim_{y\to0}y^au_y(x,y),$$that is: $$ \lim_{y\to0}\frac{u(x,y)-u(x,0)}{y^{1-a}}=\lim_{y\to0}y^au_y(x,y),$$ or there is a mistake in may computation? Moreover doesn't appear the minus sign. Then i obtain $y\to0^+$ in the right limit by continuity?
Nov 4, 2020 at 17:35 comment added inoc Sorry, i have dropped the hypothesis $a\in(-1,1)$.
Nov 4, 2020 at 17:26 comment added Iosif Pinelis If $a<1$ and the limit of the left exists, then this follows by l'Hospital's rule.
