Weyl and Marchaud derivatives: a forgotten history

In this paper we recall the contribution given by Hermann Weyl and Andr\'e Marchaud to the notion of fractional derivative. In addition we discuss some relationships between the fractional Laplace operator and Marchaud derivative in the perspective to generalize these objects to different fields of the mathematics.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1705.00953 by other author

Asymptotics for logistic-type equations with Dirichlet fractional Laplace operator

We study the asymptotics of solutions of logistic type equations with fractional Laplacian as time goes to infinity and as the exponent in nonlinear part goes to infinity. We prove strong convergence of solutions in the energy space and uniform convergence to the solution of an obstacle problem. As a by-product, we also prove the cut-off property for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet fractional Laplace operator perturbed by exploding potentials

On higher order extensions for the fractional Laplacian

The technique of Caffarelli and Silvestre, characterizing the fractional Laplacian as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a function U satisfying an elliptic equation in the upper half space with one extra spatial dimension, is shown to hold for general positive, non-integer orders of the fractional Laplace operator, by showing an equivalence between the H^s norm on the boundary and a suitable higher-order seminorm of U

Optimal rearrangement problem and normalized obstacle problem in the fractional setting

We consider an optimal rearrangement minimization problem involving the fractional Laplace operator (−∆) s , 0 0} , which happens to be the fractional analogue of the normalized obstacle problem ∆u = χ{u>0}
