In this paper we show that the inverse fractional Laplacian $(-\\Delta_x)^{-\\frac{\\sigma}{2}}$ has a similar property: it can be obtained as a Neumann-to-Dirichlet map via a new extension problem to the upper half space. We also obtain an explicit formula for the solution of the new extension problem. Moreover, we deal with powers of a more general class of second order differential operators defined in open subsets of $\\mathbb{R}^N$. From this characterization we show possible applications.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-03-25T19:31:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "extension problem", "inverse fractional operators", "upper half space", "second order differential operators", "inverse fractional laplacian" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160307988D" } } }
