Abstract: This paper concerns the fractional p-Laplace operator Deltaps in non-divergence form, which has been introduced in [Bjorland, Caffarelli, Figalli (2012)]. For any pin[2,infty) and sin(frac12,1) we first define two families of non-local, non-linear averaging operators, parametrised by epsilon and defined for all bounded, Borel functions u:mathbbRNomathbbR. We prove that Deltapsu(x) emerges as the epsilon2s-order coefficient in the expansion of the deviation of each epsilon-average from the value u(x), in the limit of the domain of averaging exhausting an appropriate cone in mathbbRN at the rate epsilono0. Second, we consider the epsilon-dynamic programming principles modeled on the first average, and show that their solutions converge uniformly as epsilono0, to viscosity solutions of the homogeneous non-local Dirichlet problem for Deltaps, when posed in a domain mathcalD that satisfies the external cone condition and subject to bounded, uniformly continuous data on mathbbRNsetminusmathcalD. Finally, we interpret such epsilon-approximating solutions as values to the non-local Tug-of-War game with noise. In this game, players choose directions while the game position is updated randomly within the infinite cone that aligns with the specified direction, whose aperture angle depends on p and N, and whose epsilon-tip has been removed.
