Abstract

Abstract In this paper we study a class of one-parameter family of elliptic equations which combines local and nonlocal operators, namely the Laplacian and the fractional Laplacian. We analyze spectral properties, establish the validity of the maximum principle, prove existence, nonexistence, symmetry and regularity results for weak solutions. The asymptotic behavior of weak solutions as the coupling parameter vanishes (which turns the problem into a purely nonlocal one) or goes to infinity (reducing the problem to the classical semilinear Laplace equation) is also investigated.

Summary

Introduction and main results

Consider the following class of mixed local–nonlocal elliptic equations (−∆)s u − ε∆u = f (x, u) in Ω, u=. Integro-di erential equations of the form (1.1) arise naturally in the study of stochastic processes with jumps. The generator of an N-dimensional Lévy process has the following general structure: Lu = aij ∂ij u + bj ∂j u + (u(x + y) − u(x) − y · ∇u(x))χB (y)dν(y),. I,j j where ν is the Lévy measure and satis es RN min{ , |y| }dν(y) < +∞, and χB is the usual characteristic function of the unit ball B of RN. The rst term of (1.2) on the right-hand side corresponds to the di usion, the second one to the drift, and the third one to the jump part
