    We prove H\"older regularity results for a class of nonlinear elliptic integro-differential operators with integration kernels whose ellipticity bounds are strongly directionally dependent. These results extend those in [9] and are also uniform as the order of operators approaches 2

    Min-max formulas for nonlocal elliptic operators on Euclidean space

    Full text link
    An operator satisfies the Global Comparison Property if anytime a function touches another from above at some point, then the operator preserves the ordering at the point of contact. This is characteristic of degenerate elliptic operators, including nonlocal and nonlinear ones. In previous work, the authors considered such operators in Riemannian manifolds and proved they can be represented by a min-max formula in terms of L\'evy operators. In this note we revisit this theory in the context of Euclidean space. With the intricacies of the general Riemannian setting gone, the ideas behind the original proof of the min-max representation become clearer. Moreover, we prove new results regarding operators that commute with translations or which otherwise enjoy some spatial regularity.Comment: 48 pages, 1 figur
