Fractional superharmonic functions and the Perron method for nonlinear integro-differential equations (Q1674596)

This paper deals with a class of nonlocal nonlinear integro-differential equations which involve fractional Laplacian-type operators with measurable coefficients. The nonlocal Dirichlet boundary value problems are defined and examined in the light of Perron method from nonlinear potential theory. The fractional operators oblige to take the nonlocal nature of the problem into account and give the corresponding definitions. The concept of \((s,p)\)-superharmonic and \((s,p)\)-subharmonic functions and accordingly nonlocal Perron method are introduced. The authors argue that, by the conclusions given, there is a remarkable contribution to the fractional nonlinear potential theory and since they work with a general class of nonlinear integro-differential operators with measurable coefficients, they provide alternative proofs for the particular cases appearing in the literature.
