Fractional Laplacian and chain rule
For the classical Laplacian, we have
$$\Delta (h(u)) = h'\Delta u + h''(u)|\nabla u|^2$$
for smooth functions $h$ and $u$.
Does a similar chain rule hold (up to a reminder term) also for the ...

Definition of homogeneous Sobolev spaces
As we know the inhomogeneous Sobolev space (we only consider $s>0$)
$${H}^{s}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right)=\left\{f \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^n):\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}|\xi|^{2 s}|\hat{f}(\xi)|^{2} \mathrm{d} ...

Fractional powers of Dirichlet-to-Neumann map to derive estimate for PDE
Assume $\Omega$ is an open, bounded subset of $\mathbb R^3$ with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega= \Gamma$. For $u \in
H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$, let $U \in H^1(\Omega)$ denote the weak solution of
the ...

Boundary terms in integration by parts for the fractional Laplacian
Let $u,v \in C^\infty(\Omega)$ and assume that $v$ is compactly supported inside a domain $\Omega$.
Is it true that
$$
\int_\Omega v (-\Delta)^su \, d x = \int_\Omega (-\Delta)^{s/2}v(-\Delta)^{s/2}u \...

Eigenvalues and kernel of the the fractional laplacian in the $d$-dimensional torus
Let $\mathbb{T}^d$ be the $d$-dimensional torus. Consider the operator
$$
\Delta^{(\alpha/2)}u(x):= \int_{\mathbb{T}^d} \frac{u(x+y)+u(x-y)-2u(x)}{(d_{\mathbb{T}^d}(x,y))^{d+\alpha}}
dy$$
Where $u$ ...

Spectral fractional Laplacian of power-function $(-\Delta)^s x^{\alpha}$ in $(0,1) \subset \mathbb R$
How can one compute the Neumann spectral fractional Laplacian of power function, $(-\Delta)^s x^{\alpha}$, with $\alpha >0$, in an interval $(0,1)$. I'm only aware of the formula in the whole space....
