Abstract: We investigate the fractional diffusion limit of a Linear Boltzmann equation with heavy-tailed velocity equilibrium in a half-space with Maxwell boundary conditions. We derive a new confined version of the fractional Laplacian and show uniqueness of weak solutions to the associated non-local diffusion equation.
