On fractional elliptic equations in Lipschitz sets and epigraphs: regularity, monotonicity and rigidity results (Q1674589)

Let \(\Omega\) be the epigraph of a real-valued continuous function on \(\mathbb R^{n-1}\), \((-\Delta)^s\) represents the classic fractional Laplacian operator for \(s\in (0,1)\), and let \(f\) be a locally Lipschitz function on the real line and satisfying some others conditions. The authors study properties of bounded solutions for \[ (-\Delta)^su=f(u)\text{ in }\Omega,\;u_{\restriction_{\Omega}}>0,\;u_{\restriction_{\mathbb R^n\setminus\Omega}}=0.\eqno{(*)} \] Precisely, the authors study the following points. Monotonicity and qualitative properties for solutions to \((*)\) in globally Lipschitz epigraphs (Theorem 1.1), \(1\)-dimensional symmetry in the half-space (Corollary 1.2), monotonicity for solutions to \((*)\) in coercive epigraphs (Theorem 1.3). By adding an additional condition on the boundary of \(\Omega\) in \((*)\), also the authors state a result on the rigidity for overdetermined problems (Theorem 1.4), and when \(\Omega\) is an unbounded open set of \(\mathbb R^n\) and satisfying a relevant condition, the authors announce a result on the boundary regularity of solutions (Theorem 1.5).
