On the convergence of the fractional relativistic Schrödinger operator (Q6063024)

The authors provide two results on the convergence of the fractional relativistic Schrödinger operator. On the first one, they consider \(s\in (0,1)\) and \(m>0\) and state that for \(u\in C^{\infty}_0(\mathbb R^n)\), the operator \((-\Delta+m^2)^s u(x)\) converges to \((-\Delta+m^2)u(x)\) as \(s\) is tends to one (Theorem 1.1). Concerning the second one, they consider \(f\in C^{1,\gamma}(\mathbb R^n)\) where \(\gamma>\max(0,1-2s)\) and state that if \(s_n\in (\frac{1}{2},1)\) is a sequence such that \(s_n\to 1^-\) as \(n\to\infty\) and \(u_{s_n}\) is a sequence of solutions of \((-\Delta+m^2)^{s_n} w=f(w)\) in \(\mathbb R^n\). Then there exists \(u_1\in H^1(\mathbb R^n)\) such that \(u_{s_n}\to u_1\) uniformly in \(C^2(K)\) for any compact subset \(K\subset \mathbb R^n.\) Furthermore, \(u_1\) solves \((-\Delta+m^2)u_1=f(u_1)\) in \(\mathbb R^n\) (Theorem 1.2).
