TLDR
In this article, the authors discuss properties of a variational interface problem involving the fractional Laplacian, including optimal regularity, non-degeneracy, and smoothness of the free boundary.
Abstract
We discuss properties (optimal regularity, non-degeneracy, smoothness of the free boundary...) of a variational interface problem involving the fractional Laplacian; Due to the non-locality of the Dirichlet problem, the task is nontrivial. This difficulty is by-passed by an extension formula, discovered by the first author and Silvestre, which reduces the study to that of a co-dimension 2 (degenerate) free boundary.

The Dirichlet problem for the fractional Laplacian: Regularity up to the boundary

TL;DR: In this article, the Pohozaev identity up to the boundary of the Dirichlet problem for the fractional Laplacian was shown to hold for the case of ( − Δ ) s u = g in Ω, u ≡ 0 in R n \ Ω, for some s ∈ ( 0, 1 ) and g ∈ L ∞ ( Ω ), then u is C s ( R n ) and u / δ s | Ω is C α up to boundary ∂Ω for some α ∈( 0

Minimal surfaces and functions of bounded variation

Enrico Giusti
TL;DR: In this article, a priori estimation of the gradient of the Bernstein problem is given. But the gradient is not a priorimate of the radius of the singular set, and it is not known whether the gradient can be estimated by direct methods.
