Regularity estimates for the solution and the free boundary to the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian

preprint2007arXivOpen access

Abstract

We use a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem. We write an equivalent characterization as a thin obstacle problem. In this way we are able to apply local type arguments to obtain sharp regularity estimates for the solution and study the regularity of the free boundary.
