Examples of optimal Hölder regularity in semilinear equations involving the fractional Laplacian

We discuss the Hölder regularity of solutions to the semilinear equation involving the fractional Laplacian [(¿)^s]u = f(u) in one dimension. We put in evidence a new regularity phenomenon which is a combined effect of the nonlocality and the semilinearity of the equation, since it does not happen n...

Sumario:We discuss the Hölder regularity of solutions to the semilinear equation involving the fractional Laplacian [(¿)^s]u = f(u) in one dimension. We put in evidence a new regularity phenomenon which is a combined effect of the nonlocality and the semilinearity of the equation, since it does not happen neither for local semilinear equations, nor for nonlocal linear equations. Namely, for nonlinearities f in C^ß and when 2s + ß < 1, the solution is not always C^(2s + ß - e) for all e > 0. Instead, in general the solution u is at most C^(2s/(1-ß))
