Abstract: In this paper we consider a smooth bounded domain $Omegasubset{R}^N$ and a parametric family of radially symmetric kernels $K_{e}psilon:R^{N}o{R}_{+}$ such that, for each $epsilonin(0,1)$, its $L^1-$norm is finite but it blows up as $epsilono0$. Our aim is to establish an $epsilon$ independent modulus of continuity in $Omega$, for the solution $u_{e}psilon$ of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem �egin{equation*} left { �egin{array}{rcll} - I_epsilon [u] &=& f & mbox{in} Omega. \ u &=& 0 & mbox{in} Omega^c, end{array} ight . end{equation*} where $$ and the operator $I_{e}psilon$ has the form �egin{equation*} I_epsilon[u](x) = frac12int limits_{R^N} [u(x + z) + u(x - z) - 2u(x)]K_epsilon(z)dz end{equation*} and it approaches the fractional Laplacian as $epsilono0$. The modulus of continuity is obtained combining the comparison principle with the translation invariance of $I_{e}psilon$, constructing suitable barriers that allow to manage the discontinuities that the solution $u_{e}psilon$ may have on $partialOmega$. Extensions of this result to fully non-linear elliptic and parabolic operators are also discussed.
