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 $u$ ...

Poisson Kernel and solution formula for fractional elliptic problem

$$ k (-\Delta)^s u + u = 0, \qquad x \in U, \\ u(x) = f(x), \qquad x \in \mathbb R^n \setminus U, $$ with $f \in L^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$, $k>0$, and $(-\Delta)^s$ is the singular integral ...

Normal vector to a level set and fractional Laplacian

Let $U=\{u\le0\}$ and $\partial U=\{u=0\}$. Suppose $\nabla u$ does not vanish on $\partial U$. Then the (canonical extension of the) normal vector field to $\partial U$ (pointing to the interior of $\...

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....
