Abstract: In this paper we study existence, regularity, and approximation of solution to a fractional semilinear elliptic equation of order $sin(0,1)$. We identify minimal conditions on the nonlinear term and the source which leads to existence of weak solutions and uniform $L^{i}nfty$-bound on the solutions. Next we realize the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet-to-Neumann map via the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension. We introduce a first-degree tensor product finite elements space to approximate the truncated problem. We derive a priori error estimates and conclude with an illustrative numerical example.
