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

Luis Caffarelli, Sandro Salsa, Luis Silvestre

Published 2007-02-13Version 1

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.
