Ergodic pairs for fractional Hamilton-Jacobi equations on bounded domains: large solutions

In this article, we study the ergodic problem associated to viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation where the diffusion is governed by the censored fractional Laplacian, a nonlocal elliptic operator restricted to a bounded domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N$. We restrict ourselves to the case in which the nonlinear gradient term has a scaling less or equal than the fractional order of the diffusion. In similarity to its second-order counterpart, we provide existence of ergodic pairs involving solutions that blow-up on $\partial Ω$. We use the celebrated vanishing discount method, where the analysis of the approximated solutions have its own interest, leading to qualitative properties for the ergodic problem such as precise blow-up rates for the solution and characterization of the ergodic constant. The main difficulties arise from the state-dependency of the operator, from which the arguments of the local case based on well-known invariance properties of the Laplacian are not longer at disposal.
