The Dirichlet problem for nonlocal elliptic operators with $C^{0,\alpha }$ exterior data

Abstract:

In this note we study the boundary regularity of solutions to nonlocal Dirichlet problems of the form $Lu=0$ in $\Omega$, $u=g$ in $\mathbb R^N\setminus \Omega$, in non-smooth domains $\Omega$. When $g$ is smooth enough, then it is easy to transform this problem into an homogeneous Dirichlet problem with a bounded right-hand side for which the boundary regularity is well understood. Here, we study the case in which $g\in C^{0,\alpha }$, and establish the optimal Hölder regularity of $u$ up to the boundary. Our results extend previous results of Grubb for $C^\infty$ domains $\Omega$.
