AbstractThe non local fractional Laplacian plays a relevant role when modeling the dynamics of many processes through complex media. From 1933 to 1949, within the framework of potential theory, the Hungarian mathematician Marcel Riesz discovered the well known Riesz potential operators, a generalization of the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral to dimension higher than one. The scope of this note is to highlight that in the above mentioned works, Riesz also gave the necessary tools to introduce several new definitions of the generalized coupled fractional Laplacian which can be applied to much wider domains of functions than those given in the literature, which are based in both the theory of fractional power of operators or in certain hyper-singular integrals. Moreover, we will introduce the corresponding fractional hyperbolic differential operator also called fractional Lorentzian Laplacian.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we focus on learning optimal parameters for PDE-based image denoising and decomposition models. First, we learn the regularization parameter and the differential operator for gray-scale image denoising using the fractional Laplacian in combination with a bilevel optimization problem. In our setting the fractional Laplacian allows the use of Fourier transform, which enables the optimization of the denoising operator. We prove stable and explainable results as an advantage in comparison to machine learning approaches. The numerical experiments correlate with our theoretical model settings and show a reduction of computing time in contrast to the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi model. Second, we introduce a new regularized image decomposition model with the fractional Laplacian and the Riesz potential. We provide an explicit formula for the unique solution and the numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency.</p>

AbstractIn this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for Kirchhoff-type superlinear problems involving non-local integro-differential operators. As a particular case, we consider the following Kirchhoff-type fractional Laplace equation:$$\matrix{ {\left\{ {\matrix{ {M\left( {\int\!\!\!\int\limits_{{\open R}^{2N}} {\displaystyle{{ \vert u(x)-u(y) \vert ^2} \over { \vert x-y \vert ^{N + 2s}}}} {\rm d}x{\rm d}y} \right){(-\Delta )}^su = f(x,u)\quad } \hfill &amp; {{\rm in }\Omega ,} \hfill \cr {u = 0\quad } \hfill &amp; {{\rm in }{\open R}^N{\rm \setminus }\Omega {\mkern 1mu} ,} \hfill \cr } } \right.} \hfill \cr } $$where ( − Δ)sis the fractional Laplace operator,s∈ (0, 1),N&gt; 2s, Ω is an open bounded subset of ℝNwith smooth boundary ∂Ω,$M:{\open R}_0^ + \to {\open R}^ + $is a continuous function satisfying certain assumptions, andf(x,u) is superlinear at infinity. By computing the critical groups at zero and at infinity, we obtain the existence of non-trivial solutions for the above problem via Morse theory. To the best of our knowledge, our results are new in the study of Kirchhoff–type Laplacian problems.

This chapter discusses a case for single-parameter singular integral operators, where ρ‎ is the usual distance on ℝn. There, we obtain the most classical theory of singular integrals, which is useful for studying elliptic partial differential operators. The chapter defines singular integral operators in three equivalent ways. This trichotomy can be seen three times, in increasing generality: Theorems 1.1.23, 1.1.26, and 1.2.10. This trichotomy is developed even when the operators are not translation invariant (many authors discuss such ideas only for translation invariant, or nearly translation invariant operators). It also presents these ideas in a slightly different way than is usual, which helps to motivate later results and definitions.

The aim of this paper is to study the solvability of the following problem, [Formula: see text] where (-Δ)s, with s ∈ (0, 1), is a fractional power of the positive operator -Δ, Ω ⊂ ℝN, N > 2s, is a Lipschitz bounded domain such that 0 ∈ Ω, μ is a positive real number, λ < ΛN,s, the sharp constant of the Hardy–Sobolev inequality, 0 < q < 1 and [Formula: see text], with αλ a parameter depending on λ and satisfying [Formula: see text]. We will discuss the existence and multiplicity of solutions depending on the value of p, proving in particular that p(λ, s) is the threshold for the existence of solution to problem (Pμ).

Eringen’s model is one of the most popular theories in non-local elasticity. It has been applied to many practical situations with the objective of removing anomalous stress concentrations around geometric shape singularities, which appear when local modelling is used. Despite the great popularity of Eringen’s model within the mechanical engineering community, even the most basic questions such as the existence and uniqueness of solutions have been rarely considered in research literature for this model. In this work we focus on precisely these questions, proving that the model is in general ill-posed in the case of smooth kernels, the case which appears rather often in numerical studies. We also consider the case of singular, non-smooth kernels and for the paradigmatic case of Riesz potential we establish the well-posedness of the model in fractional Sobolev spaces. For such a kernel, in dimension one the model reduces to the well-known fractional Laplacian. Finally, we discuss possible extensions of Eringen’s model to spatially heterogeneous material distributions.

Abstract In this paper we study the fractional maximal operator Mα, 0 ≤ α < Q and the Riesz potential operator ℑα, 0 < α < Q on the Heisenberg group in the modified Morrey spaces L͂p,λ(ℍn), where Q = 2n + 2 is the homogeneous dimension on ℍn. We prove that the operators Mα and ℑα are bounded from the modified Morrey space L͂1,λ(ℍn) to the weak modified Morrey space WL͂q,λ(ℍn) if and only if, α/Q ≤ 1 - 1/q ≤ α/(Q - λ) and from L͂p,λ(ℍn) to L͂q,λ(ℍn) if and only if, α/Q ≤ 1/p - 1/q ≤ α/(Q - λ).In the limiting case we prove that the operator Mα is bounded from L͂p,λ(ℍn) to L∞(ℍn) and the modified fractional integral operator Ĩα is bounded from L͂p,λ(ℍn) to BMO(ℍn).As applications of the properties of the fundamental solution of sub-Laplacian Ը on ℍn, we prove two Sobolev-Stein embedding theorems on modified Morrey and Besov-modified Morrey spaces in the Heisenberg group setting. As an another application, we prove the boundedness of ℑα from the Besov-modified Morrey spaces BL͂spθ,λ(ℍn) to BL͂spθ,λ(ℍn).
