Abstract

In this paper we study the limit as p → ∞ of minimizers of thefractional Ws,p-norms. In particular, weprove that the limit satisfies a non-local and non-linear equation. We also prove theexistence and uniqueness of solutions of the equation. Furthermore, we prove the existenceof solutions in general for the corresponding inhomogeneous equation. By making strong useof the barriers in this construction, we obtain some regularity results.
